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
- INTERSTATE:
- inspect and correct overpasses/underpasses to ensure that the segments are on different levels and do not have a junction node where they meet
