This way, we can avoid duplication of efforts by keeping each other informed of what we're doing. In this section, please add your name, where you're from (if you so desire), and your current project(s), including permalink(s).

Interstates and Major Freeways

Primary issues for Interstate and Major Highway work

• remove excess junction nodes (those not at intersections or at city-name changes)
• inspect and correct connectivity of necessary junctions
• update highway and ramp segment "road types"
• inspect and correct overpasses/underpasses to ensure that the segments are on different levels and do not have a junction node where they meet
• update all segment "Street Names" and "Alternate Names" (removing any duplicate alternates) in accordance with the standards published in the Wiki, but with certain exceptions as noted below-- when in doubt, follow these examples:
  • NON-SPLIT HIGHWAYS/STREETS/ROADS (two-way segments):
    • US Routes: US-20
    • NY State Routes: SR-60
    • County Roads/Routes/Highways: CR-70A
  • SPLIT HIGHWAYS (one-way segments):
    • I-481 N -- I-481 S
    • US-219 N -- US-219 S
    • SR-17 E -- SR-17 W
  • ONRAMPS:
    • to I-81 N / Watertown
    • to I-86 E / Corning / Binghamton
      • Note: two-way ramp segments should not be named; the TTS directions will then properly use the name for the next named street on its route.
  • OFFRAMPS:
    • numbered exits: Exit 26: Olean
    • numbered exits with multiple names: Exit 59: Dunkirk / Fredonia
    • non-numbered exits: Exit to SR-39 / Springville
      • Note: it is permissible to add route numbers on numbered exits; however, this is not essential, and if the name becomes too long, the TTS may cause extra confusion when repeating the information several times. Generally, the exit number and city name(s) on the sign are sufficient for the ramp name.

Rural Region	Editor(s)	Progress	Comment
Southern Tier (borders: PA in west and south; Oneonta in east; Tully & Orchard Park in north)	Spil	~ 15-20%	17MAY2012: bits and pieces completed from Update Requests and other editing; much more work needed!

Adirondack	...	...	...
Capital District	chrysrobyn	50%	Central to western Troy done, now looking east of Albany. Rural areas will get lots of URs because turns are hard to rig to match what it feels like when you drive it. I-87 corridor from Glens Falls south to Ravena is done.
