the portion of US 41 you point out is a bit schzoid, mostly grade separated but with a scattering of grade level crossings. the points with grade level crossings should certainly be trunk. richard _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
