Thanks for the heads up.<BR> <BR>While he hasn't done anything in the Pgh area, I did notice this one section of US-19 in WV he upgraded from Trunk to Motorway in Changeset 12698753. (<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/12698753">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/12698753</a>)<BR> <BR>I've traveled US-19 between I-79 and I-77/I-64 over 50 times in my life. There is no way that small section is a "motorway". So, I've already "downgraded" it back to trunk to match the sections on each side of it.<BR> <BR>-James<br> <BR><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 23:26:27 -0500<br>> From: toby.murray@gmail.com<br>> To: talk-us@openstreetmap.org<br>> Subject: [Talk-us] Another random road reclassification<br>> <br>> I just noticed user SimMoonXP (<br>> http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SimMoonXP ) reclassifying a few<br>> isolated stretches of KS highway 7 in the Kansas City area. I sent a<br>> message asking why and he indicated that he was reclassifying anything<br>> with a separated grade intersection as motorway, even if it was only<br>> for a short stretch. For example:<br>> <br>> http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=39.117&lon=-94.8924&zoom=14&layers=M<br>> <br>> I know there is some disagreement about road classification,<br>> especially when it comes to trunk but I'm pretty sure most people<br>> would agree that this is incorrect. Thoughts?<br>> <br>> Unfortunately I think this user has been making such changes across<br>> the US. You might want to check your area. I will likely revert the<br>> changes in the KC area. Does anything else need to be looked at?<br>> <br>> Toby<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Talk-us mailing list<br>> Talk-us@openstreetmap.org<br>> http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us<br></div> </div></body>
