As a general rule, bicycles are prohibited from freeways in the US east of
the Mississippi and allowed on rural freeways in the west. Of course this
is a very broad definition and only a starting point for understanding. The
key point is that people in the east often assume that bicycles are

I think last time I doublechecked it, something like 30 or 35 states allow
nonmotorized access to freeways, making those that don't somewhat of a
minority. However, given that 97%(?) of the population of the US lives in
the ~215 lower-48 metropolitan areas (that is, pretty much any city large
This is an interesting conversation. Since I'm on the east coast, I've
never seen a bicycle on a freeway. Since I'm a bit of a road geek, I ask
this very question of my fellow road geeks on our discussion forum. It
seems many states have explicit laws allowing bicycles on the highway.

Great start on this Minh,
I tried to tackle this in the Baltimore Washington region last year. After
reading the wiki, I decided on the following classifications:
* hamlet: census population was less than 200
* village: census pop. between 200 and 1
* town: census pop. between 10001 and

Greetings US OSM'ers,
I'm working with some other locals on another import, this time for
Baltimore City. In thinking of good attributes to add to buildings, I
thought it might be pertinent to denote the city's 16K+ vacant buildings
[1] on the OSM buildings. Have other people been doing this?
Tonight! Be there or be spherical Mercator.

In the dataset, those ones are owned by the city. When the property becomes
vacant and the landlord can't pay the taxes, the landlords default and the
city scoops the property up for non-payment of taxes. The 16K in this
dataset are just the ones the city owns. There are apparently many more
