Puerto Rico MapRaid Discussion View history

Welcome to the Puerto Rico MapRaid. I would like to first apologize there is no wiki for Puerto Rico, as there have been no real local editors. 2nd, I would also like to apologize for the lack of StreetView on the island. 3rd, I would like to apologize for the not so great SATIMG on the island, as well. 4th, I would like to apologize there is no good GIS map for PR, either.

Editing

The primary language of Puerto Rico is Spanish, thus everything should be Spanish

Please use your best guess as to roads in the trees; turning on the GPS Points layer may help

Map Resources Include:

• Connect Puerto Rico
• ArcGIS Viewer (requires Microsoft Silverlight)
• Visit http://www2.pr.gov/agencias/gis/Pages/default.aspx for additional GIS resources, as well as ESRI (if it's available)

Places

All places are to be drawn fence line to fence line, as is the standard for the United States

Roads

There is no FC for PR

All freeways are set to ground level. If two freeways cross each other, look at the actual intersection to discover the layers of the intersection

Any road that acts, looks, & feels like a freeway should be set to Freeway road type

In Puerto Rico MapRaid we have a set minimum standard for locking roads based on segment type. Any road of a certain segment type must be locked at least to the rank (level) in the chart below. Roads may be locked higher for protection and special situations (areas with construction, tricky design, frequent mistakes, imaging inaccuracies, and the like), but should not be locked lower. A great time to implement these locks is while bringing the road types of an area into compliance with the current US road type standards (FC and highway systems). Lock the roads based on type after they've been set to current US road type standards.

Puerto Rico MapRaid Minimum Locking Rank Standard

Segment Type	Statewide
Freeway	5
Ramp	Highest rank of connected segments
Major Highway	3
Minor Highway	3
Primary Street	1 (Auto)
Street	1 (Auto)
Private Road	1 (Auto)
• • • • Ferry • • • •	5
|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-| Railroad |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|	2

Note: Do Not Mass Edit just to update locks to these standards, these can be adjusted as you find them while editing other aspects of the segments such as FC, speed limits, naming, etc.

Some segments still warrant higher locks and care should be taken when setting segment lock to these standards to look for and protect these special setups with higher locks. Some examples; segments which are part of BDP, U-turn prevention, or using micro-doglegs, or other complex intersection setups.
