Roads in existing systems to be considered for addition

(1/3) > >>

mapcat:
Several users have suggested specific roads to add to TM that weren't included in CHM for various reasons.  This is meant to be a centralized list of roads to consider, and a place to discuss their merits.

Please note that discussion of other *systems* (such as state highway systems not yet in development) is happening elsewhere and doesn't need to be duplicated here.  The roads here are part of systems that TM (and CHM) include already.  Also, since it's anticipated that all US state highway and Canadian provincial highway systems will be added eventually, it doesn't seem particularly important to suggest any additions to "US Select Numbered State Freeways".

My nominations:

Florida (usasf)
Selmon Expy has number; will be added as part of the FL state roads set

Kentucky (usasf)
Hal Rogers Pkwy added

New York (usasf)
Cross County Pkwy added
Inner Loop (Rochester)
Jackie Robinson Pkwy
Korean War Vets Pkwy
Mosholu Pkwy
New York State Thruway Berkshire Connector (between I-87 and I-90) added
Robert Moses Pkwy (Niagara Falls)
Saw Mill River Pkwy added

Ohio (usasf)
Ronald Reagan Cross County Hwy (west of US27) added

Texas (usasf)
Chisholm Trail Pkwy added
Fort Bend Pkwy added

That is posted as FL-618 and will be added as part of the Florida State Highway system.

While it theoretically 'adds nothing', I don't see why the NYST shouldn't be in the usasf system. Yes, there's a miniscule amount of extra maintainance, but it adds a signed named freeway to the named freeway system.

Likewise other interstates / us/state routes with named routes signed with shields (mostly toll roads).

I suppose one thing it and additions like it could add is that someone who, for example, has traveled some segment of the NYST (or the NJTP, PA Tpke, Ohio Tpke, and any others that span multiple route numbers or carry a route number only in part) could add just the named road to their .list and let the concurrency detection figure out which parts were also which interstates.

Jim:
I'm not necessarily arguing in favor of it, but I suppose we could add an "Adirondack Northway" route to usasf and extend south of Exit 1 (the I-90 interchange) so it would include the Crossgates Mall exit and down to the US 20 connection.
