It is just a street center line without dual carriage information. I think is works better for land development zoning that OSM data. I know that the MapBox data team has already come through and added to lane counts and turn restrictions along major roads. I believe other mappers have worked hard on OSM turn restrictions too Paul Johnson appears to be prolific with the work. Please contribute how you can. Your edits are welcome. The name labels will not be of much use. The tiger data was correct in all the places that I have mapped. Ohh! Ahh! Look at the beautiful Tiger fixup map. http://product.itoworld.com/map/162?lon=-112.04146&lat=33.56395&zoom=11 I am going back through now removing all the tiger tags and rechecking geometries created with Yahoo. I know Hans has done a great job in many areas with the Tiger fixup. Dave Hansen, balrog-kun, iandees I love you guys for work you did that I did not have to do. Tiger was the best import ever! balrog-kun's name expansion saved me so many hours of time. iandees import of geonames saved many many hours of research. These automated changes allowed me to work on other issues. I am an osmer that thinks that the Tiger import was a good thing! Adding missing speed limits would be a better effort than attempting to sorting out the opendata site. I looked at the site along time ago when it was launched but found these two confusing links. I cannot tell if they have just relinked the phoenix.gov website terms into the opendata terms. Is it opendata or closed data? Perhaps you'd want to send a note to them to clear up the questionable terms. The site appears to be more of a sales pitch than anything with a real substantial opendata contribution. https://www.phoenix.gov/opendata/terms https://www.phoenix.gov/opendata/policy Regards, Greg
