color:#1F497D'>I’ve loaded the area in JOSM and most of the ways look to be
residential (which are a sort of light grey on my system) and the interstate is
tagged as motorway and shows as blue. Zooming in I’ve found highway=track in
green and highway=service in a thinner blue line. Zooming in towards the top
left finds a primary and a secondary route in reddish and orangeish colours –
the primary route is the Pacific Coast Highway and pretty much follows a
residential tiger imported Pacific Coast Highway, so that looks like a bit of
duplication (if it helps Dana Point is near where I’m looking).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

service ways on dockside and a red pier. All looks OK on my system colourwise
(I’ve never been to the area to verify the accuracy of what I’m looking at
datawise though <g>).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi Ed. The area I'm
looking at is -117.718, 33.495: -117.553,33.364. There is at least one
segment of an interstate going through the area. The majority of the
lines are residential and other lines include county and coastline
boundaries. I don't use any other data other than the OSM data layer and
CaSIL's WMS DOQQ as background. <br>
<br>
It's a tiny section of California I am looking at but, eventually, when my preferences
is set up for easier viewing, I will be looking at all of California. The
primary goal for me is to get all the major roads: interstates, US, state,
county roads "cleaned up" to use in the California basemap, a GIS
service to the public. What I mean my clean up is check that the highways
are named, they follow the course of the road according to the aerial imagery
(DOQQs with +/- 3 meter horizontal accuracy), remove duplicate road lines,
etc. I don't know if that will be a problem with the OSM organization but
we really like the look of the roads on the California basemap compared to
other roads we've used.<br>
