Yes. That more people don't do it is just them being silly. Good for
me, I suppose.
Speaking of misclassification around Orlando, why on did you make
Alafaya Trail south of Curry Ford primary?
To distinguish it from the adjacent secondaries, which are similarly
more major than the tertiaries. It's a balancing act, not an exact
science.
Indeed, but by any standard Lake Underhill and Curry Ford are both more
heavily trafficked and more important than that segment of Alafaya. (for
now)
We're obviously getting nowhere here. You think trunk should be used
for certain physical characteristics, and other people think it
should
be used for a slightly different set. I think a more systematic
approach makes sense, classifying the most major routes in the system
as trunk. Again, even under that view, there will be disagreement
over
where the line is drawn. But you seem to be rejecting that it's even
a
valid option, like if someone were to insist that primaries must have
at least four lanes, or that tertiaries must have a centerline.
I think that trunk is more useful if it's prescriptive, more along the
lines of a motorway than primary and below. If we aren't going to do
that, we need to come up with another value for highway and get it
rendered by default. It's something that map users expect, and we should
therefore deliver. Even with your view, physical characteristics are
part of what makes a particular route important within the network. TBH,
I think you overuse the trunk tag regardless of physical
characteristics.
