It's a busy time for new national bicycle routes in the USA's USBRS! To help OSM "get ahead of the curve" of May's AASHTO ballot, several USBR applications by state DOTs have been made available, allowing OSM to enter these state-at-a-time national bicycle route data. Currently
a USBR 35 realignment in Michigan, USBR 50 in Nevada, USBR 66 in Missouri and USBR 221 and USBR 421 re-numberings are Spring 2018 ballot items which have been completed or need no additional work in OSM, while USBR 15 in Georgia and USBR 36 in Pennsylvania have been "seeded" as route relations at termini, yet still need to be fully entered into OSM. Please visit our wiki https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/WikiProject_U.S._Bicycle_Route_System for links to the route data ballots (OSM-US has explicit permission to enter these). USBRs 21 and 25 in Ohio, while "rumored" to be on this semi-annual ballot, do not have what OSM considers as route data from ODOT suitable to meet OSM's "high bar standard" sufficient to enter into OSM. When/as these data become available (likely as an AASHTO application), the project will endeavor to make these data more widely available. So if you're in Georgia or Pennsylvania (or even if not!) and want to help build Earth's largest official cycling route network, check it out and have fun!
