I actually like your suggestion that highway=trunk does not add much value to the U.S. map, Eric. We love to add detail / granularity to OSM so much, it can become hard to envisage taking some away. Not saying we should abolish trunk right here and now, but something I'd consider as one outcome.

If it’s locally known as such, to my mind, it’s totally fine tagging it that way, even if it’s only by backcountry skiers. I would say this is common in OSM, I see (and appreciate) a lot of named trails that are not always signposted as such but locally known by those names (like

Re: [Talk-us] Spot elevations collected as natural=peak and name=Point (height in feet)

That doesn’t seem right to me. Natural=peak is for actual high points in the landscape, and should be named by their established names, if available. Elevation, as you say, should be in meters on the ele tag. Best thing to do is probably to send these folks a kind note pointing out OSM

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

I am very happy to see this rekindled interest in TIGER cleanup! Having done a fair amount of backcountry exploring, I know that there is a wide range of road grades and aerial imagery alone is not enough to decide how navigable a roads is for a particular type of vehicle. Or, for that matter,

Re: [Talk-us] Highway exit renumbering

Hi, To my mind it’s completely optional to preserve this information unless it’s somehow still used on signage. I’ve seen old_ref=… used here in Utah and that tag seems to be in wide use: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/old_ref#map

Okay folks. Coming back from not even 48 hours camping and this thread has exploded. I don't think it benefits anyone to continue in this way. Valuable insights get lost in the sheer volume of email; arguments are being repeated. I am dedicating the next Many Mappy Minutes (our monthly-ish online

Question for you all: What make Michigan state routes 5 and 10[1] trunks rather than primaries? To my mind these are highway=primary mainly because of at-grade intersections.. I am still confused about what makes a trunk road in the US. To my mind it's roads with no at-grade intersections but

[Talk-us] Center turn lane mapping

Hi all, I had a discussion about center turn lane mapping with my team this morning, and I wrote a diary about it proposing one consistent scheme to tag them. Not a new scheme, but using the existing lanes / turn:lanes schema as already implemented by the JOSM plugin, in favor of the
