Just an additional data point: I use tiger:reviewed extensively in cycle.travel's mapping and routing to make sense of OSM in rural areas. Bike routing generally prefers minor roads with fewer cars (residential, unclassified, tertiary) and avoids major roads with many cars (primary, trunk, motorway). Bike routers will usually try and maximise the use of residential roads. Because TIGER class A41 was imported as highway=residential, and much of A41 is dirt tracks or worse, applying these routing weightings to the US would mean that the router seeks out what are often unrideable routes. tiger:reviewed is a useful signifier that someone has actually looked at a residential road and verified that it is a residential road as we understand it in OSM. So, for the sake of us cyclists, please don't clear tiger:reviewed if you haven't reviewed a road! (In urban areas I do agree that tiger:reviewed is often now worthless.) cheers Richard -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/USA-f5284732.html _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
