<div dir="ltr">Several freeways that were designed by the Army Corps of Engineers in the Baghdad, IQ area got tagged similarly to that (highway=unbuilt or similar). No idea if they were later built by some authority. Also didn't know if it was inside knowledge by a returning soldier past the end of whatever applicable NDA was in play or someone pulled a big-ass FOIA request and found 'em. Or if Sam Baldock (the same one for which segments of Iraq Highway 1 (prior to and once again after Hussein's rule) and a long section of Interstate 5 in Oregon were named after; he was a prolific civil engineer in both regions) had designed 'em and they were never built after the 1968 Ba'ath Revolution. Normally not a fan of source tags on anything smaller than a whole changeset, but in this case, it would save a whole lot of research trying to find where a strange but plausible edit came from.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 28, 2015 at 7:05 AM, Richard Welty <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rwelty@averillpark.net" target="_blank">rwelty@averillpark.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On 1/28/15 7:51 AM, Tom Pfeifer wrote:<br>

back in the 1960s, there were a bunch of proposals for motorways<br>
in the Albany, NY area that were never built (for good reason). a mapper<br>
added those as proposed maybe two years ago, which wasn't good<br>
because the default mapnik stylesheet renders them.<br>
<br>
i changed them to highway:unbuilt, rather than deleting them so<br>
that they would stop rendering and wouldn't get added back in later.<br>
<br>
some sort of generic tagging for such situations would be nice.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
