the US Interstate system was going to be moved into a new schema where
each direction of each interstate would be split at the state border
to avoid hitting API 0.6's 1000-member hard-cap on relationships.
Last night, user NE2 "cleaned up" the interstate system by merging all
of the states with 2 relations per interstate back into 1 relation
with direction-based roles. I've already requested a roll-back on the
area I was working on, but I wanted to check if we still have a
consensus on splitting each interstate into separate directions at the
state line.
i concur with the notion of splitting at state lines. i also think that
the longer US routes need
to be handled in a similar manner.
i don't think NE2 condensed all the relationships; he hit the I-90
East/West and I-81 North/South
relations i built in NY, but just altered the names, leaving both
relations in place.
