Re: [Talk-us] exit_to vs destination

Anybody else think we should CC [talk-ca] in on this too? Main reason I'm suggesting this is because of how they (at least in Ontario) have been doing the exit tags, which is to add everything to the 'name' tag so it gets rendered on the map (at least I think that was why it was done this way,

Thank you Mapbox and DigitalGlobe. Just one little flaw with the feedback tool. The additional notes part doesn't show up when I'm selecting areas that need a refresh. I wanted to point out some major Interstate Highway projects that are being done that either are building brand new highways

Re: [Talk-us] State ref tags on ways: Use of unique ISO/ANSI/USPS 2-letter state codes in RELATIONS as well as WAYS?

Richard, Can you tell me where this problem is in PA? Because the last time I checked, we did add the 'PA' part to the ref tags on ways here and properly tagged multiplexes with the route types. I want to double check to make sure somebody isn't removing valid data as I haven't seen anything

[Talk-us] State ref tags on ways

I know that in some states that we don't add the state abbreviation (and use 'SR' or 'SH'), and other states we don't add anything at all expect just the number. I'm just curious if anybody thinks we should try to get them all standardized on the ways. For instance, we should start adding the

Re: [Talk-us] South Carolina State Highways - primary overload

I have finally heard back from the DWG group on this subject. They said that they "lack the manpower to actually investigate these edits and find out what they "should" be". However, they said that they can identify *every* highway=xxx upgrade that the user did in a time frame and revert them.
