Re: [Talk-us] Recent Trunk road edits

It seems another editor by the name of Fluffy89502 is going around doing similar edits all over the US, even demoting divided, multi-lane roads. Other users have commented on his changesets and he cites the wiki's wording. On Mon, Sep 28, 2020 at 8:54 PM Mike N wrote: > Based on some likely

[Talk-us] Lincoln, NE South/East Beltway

I noticed someone had mapped the Lincoln South and East Beltway segments as under construction. However, I could find no word of either segment going to construction yet. The South appears to be planned for construction sooner, but will smoothly tie into Route 2 until the East section is built.

[Talk-us] DigitalGlobe Premium Imagery: Invalid Token?

For the past several days, the DigitalGlobe Premium and Standard Imagery have both given HTTP 401 errors when trying to use them in JOSM. Manually going to the tile URL tells me that the access token is invalid. Since this is the token in the TMS URL in JOSM by default, it seems as though it needs

Re: [Talk-us] Satus CDP

Many towns and suburbs in my area are only CDPs, and having proper boundaries for them seems like it'd be useful, especially in more densely populated areas. It's not like there's any fuzziness with them either, since they're defined by the Census Bureau and could only change once every 10 years.

Re: [Talk-us] Rural US: Correcting Original TIGER Imported Ways

With the exception of the higher-resolution imagery in cities, the current Bing/ESRI World Imagery is worse than the previous iteration in every way except for being newer. It's blurry, often distorted, and frequently has clouds covering it. The previous imagery was crisper and rarely if ever had

I noticed many of the county lines in Pennsylvania are off by quite a bit. I took the county lines from TIGER 2017 and imported them into JOSM, and am ready to begin switching out the existing county lines in OSM. However, I know to discuss before attempting any import, especially one of this

Re: [Talk-us] Pittsburgh neighborhood boundaries mapped with admin level 9?

Why are townships, boroughs, towns, and cities in PA mapped with separate admin levels, or at least "supposed to be" mapped that way according to that page? As far as I know they're always only ever one level below county, and never overlap. i.e. you never have a town in the middle of some other

[Talk-us] Pittsburgh neighborhood boundaries mapped with admin level 9?

I noticed that the neighborhoods in Pittsburgh are mapped as administrative boundaries with admin_level=9. Is this proper? The wiki page for U.S. admin levels doesn't list any use for admin level 9 in Pennsylvania, though this seems

[Talk-us] Directions as route relation roles

The wiki page Highway Directions In The United States lists a method of tagging directions in route relation roles that sets the role as the posted direction of the way in OSM's forward direction. For single-carriageway roads, this means that backwards is the opposite cardinal direction.

I think that zoom levels 12 and below just take a really long time to update. One road classification change I made over a month ago has still not yet updated on these lower zoom levels. Another edit made several months ago took a similarly long time to update there, though it has long since been

Recently somebody went around and bulk-"demoted" many northern NJ roads. Granted, some of these were marked as trunk and primary that would probably be better as primary and secondary, respectively, but this person made various trunk routes secondary (including major arterials such as US 206, NJ

[Talk-us] highway=trunk for NHS routes?

As a general rule, should highway=trunk be used for routes on the National Highway System? Considering that those routes are generally more backbone routes, more important than a lot of primary routes, it makes sense that they should be tagged with trunk.

[Talk-us] Relation roles: Clockwise and Counterclockwise route directions? (e.g. Pittsburgh's Belts)

I know that north/south/east/west directions are preferred for relation roles of one-way route segments (e.g. one-way pairs or divided highways), but what about clockwise and counterclockwise? Often beltways, like D.C.'s Capital Beltway, are signed such that they abruptly go from north/south to

[Talk-us] Relation roles for two-way way segments carrying routes in a single direction

So I understand that one-way ways carrying a route (e.g. a one-way pair or divided highway) should have relation roles of north/south/east/west, but say you have a situation like this. Say you have an east-west route that follows the primary roads in that picture. The eastbound direction
