A post on the 'talk' email list on updating the page at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editing_Standards_and_Conventions got me thinking that something for Interstate Highways would be handy.
Currently, the page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Interstate_Highways redirects to the relations page, which is fine when there's no other detail. But the page section at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/North_Carolina#Interstate_Highways Would be a good start. Does it make sense to have a national convention for Interstate Highway editing? Those conventions would seem to apply to the whole US when updated for Relations. Some Interstate questions in general - Is there any use for the 'nat_ref' tag since a relation seems to be a better representation of the Nationally Referenced function? Should roles for direction be used when the interstate signing convention include the direction? Should interstate exits be included as part of the routing relation? Rest area - Should the entrance and exit ramps be marked as motorway_link , while the rest stop streets be marked as type 'service' - or are all marked as 'service'? Should the Rest stop roads in general be included as part of the interstate route relation? Relations - general When does adding a relation to a road create a more useful map? What about for local primary and secondary roads? For a 2 mile "Interstate Spur"? _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
