Interstates and Major Freeways

Primary issues for Interstate and Major Freeway 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"
• update all segment "Street Names" in accordance with the standards published in the Wiki -- for example:
  • INTERSTATE:
    • I-90 E
    • I-481 N
  • US HIGHWAYS:
    • "Split" (1-way) segments: US-219 N
    • "Unsplit" (2-way) segments: US-20
  • STATE ROUTES:
    • "Split": SR-36 S
    • "Unsplit": SR-60
  • OFFRAMP:
    • numbered exit: Exit 26: Olean
    • numbered exit with multiple names: Exit 59: Dunkirk / Fredonia
    • non-numbered exit: Exit to SR-39 / Springville
  • ONRAMP:
    • to I-81 N / Watertown
    • to I-86 E / Corning / Binghamton
• inspect and correct overpasses/underpasses to ensure that the segments are on different levels and do not have a junction node where they meet
