Personally, I think even that much is overkill for deleting tiger:reviewed. I think that surface, lanes, and traffic controls are things that a mapper can notice are not mapped, irrespective of the TIGER review status. There are lots of hand-mapped roads that don't have the information! I'm willing to delete the tag when: (1) I've checked alignment against two sets of aerials, at least one with the leaves off. (In my case, that's almost always Maxar and NYS Orthos Online.) (2) I've added all bridges and culverts that I can identify on aerials. (Which always leads me down the rabbit hole of mapping the corresponding waterways) (2) I've verified that the name matches the state DOT highway map and the E911 address points. (3) I've adjusted the road class (TIGER's 'residential' can mean anything from a tertiary highway to a track!) (4) I've created route relations if the road has a ref (and removed the ref from the road's names!) I don't do 'lanes' very often. I do 'surface' if the road is obviously not hard-surfaced (sometimes I can even see the ruts in aerials), and I do traffic controls only when surveying in person, which I always do afoot. I'd like a way to indicate that an intersection is uncontrolled. I've found myself returning on foot several times to the same intersection to look for STOP signs that aren't there, because I can't remember that I've checked it already. The reason that I'm so lax is that in my part of the state, TIGER is _horrible_ and mappers are scarce. I chronically lack time to do very much about it, although I've at least checked the above information for all the unreviewed roads in my home county (barring some service ways that I'm not sure I can access legally). I work intermittently on a couple of neighbouring counties. There are a lot of service ways 'residential' ways in TIGER that are a mile or two off from the correct alignment or are otherwise ridiculous. At this point, in my area, 'tiger:reviewed=no' means 'beware: this road likely is entirely hallucinatory' and I kill the tag once I've verified that the information that TIGER provided is correct. The information that TIGER didn't ordinarily provide, I can leave for others (possibly including future-Kevin). _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
