</div>What about the minor roads? State Roads are exactly the ones that<br>
aren't major, and there are a lot of them. Most states have at least<br>
several hundred, and a few like Kentucky and Texas have more than 6000.<br>
That's a /minimum/ estimate of 20,000 roads, most of which haven't been<br>
touched because they're in rural areas.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>if they haven't been touched what is the advantage to touch them by a bot or other automatic edits? obviously they are either good enough in there current status or no one cares about it. there is 0 benefit in automatic edits. taking original tiger 2010 data will be the much better choice for any application</div>
