Oops, sorry Adam, replied directly to you versus the list; here’s the message:
My thoughts: Unless something changed, I think both Potlatch and JOSM will remove the ‘junk’ tags from TIGER if you delete the reviewed=no. Maybe this is not the case with iD? As far as classification; please note that it is not about whether the road is rural or not; it’s the function – there have been people who started changing all ‘dirt roads’ to track around me in rural Colorado – this is NOT correct. Most of the ‘dirt roads’ around here are 100% verifiably “residential”. So please don’t encourage mass changing of classification based on anything but function of the roadway. =Russ From: Adam Franco [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 03, 2016 9:28 AM To: [email protected] Openstreetmap Subject: Re: [Talk-us] Best practices for dealing with old TIGER tags? Just some more feedback on the idea of a TIGER rural-residential challenge based on cleanup I've done throughout much of Vermont: * Most of the roads in rural areas should have their highway= changed to something other than residential. (well known issue). * Surface tags would be GREAT! I've added surface tags to most roads in Vermont, but have not quite gotten to all of them yet. * At least here in Vermont, "private road" means that the ownership and maintenance of the road is the responsibility of the resident[s], not that "access=private". We have many private roads due to low densities of residences and Towns generally won't take over ownership/maintenance unless there are at least 3 residences and the proposal passes a public vote. The TIGER import mistakenly tagged many private-roads as "access=private". It would be great to remove this tag if it hasn't been added by a person. If there is any way to help out with this effort I'd love to lend a hand.
