Just as a postscript to this discussion I thought I'd cite an example area. If you look here, in Georgia:
http://cycle.travel/map?lat=31.9023&lon=-84.0398&zoom=14 you'll see that most of the roads are unreviewed TIGER residentials. Of those, these are adjacent to each other: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/9359782 - good tarmac, should be highway=tertiary http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/9359913 - unpaved road; highway=unclassified, surface=unpaved http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/9359784 - probably tertiary, but lousy geometry at the S http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/9359783 - whoops, where did the connectivity go? All of this is trivially fixable but right now there's no way of using them for routing or sensible cartography. Do dive in - the cycle.travel rendering makes it obvious which bits need fixing, and you learn to identify the roads which are likely to be paved through roads and therefore targets to fix. It's quite good fun. :) cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/cycle-travel-US-bike-routing-and-unreviewed-rural-TIGER-tp5848084p5848589.html Sent from the USA mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
