Nick, maybe as a step before your suggestion.<br>
<br>
1) New streets with no names. In Florida, there's a large number
of new streets that contributors have added, but did not add a
name. The TIGER 2012 overlay helps make quick work of adding these
names. In many cases, streets will need to be split on curves
where the street name changes. An improvement to this process is
having a list of names from TIGER 2012 to choose from, like a pick
list of streets within the current bounding box. This would avoid
retying the names. But people should also expand the street name
abbreviations, like Ave to Avenue. Maybe try to automate much of
the abbreviation expansion as well.<br>
<br>
Other thoughts:<br>
<br>
A lot of counties still have a lot of old TIGER with fairly
horrific street alignment. Focusing on these areas in the
remap-a-tron effort would be a huge help. I often wonder if new
people look at this garbage and think to themselves - "Look at
these crazy streets! OSM sucks, why bother?"<br>
<br>
And for the Level 4 suggestion - as has been noted on the list
before, unedited TIGER streets with no names constitutes a very
large number of ways which are dirt roads that may or may not
still be there in large tracts of land. Also long driveways. These
ways contribute a whole lot of noise to the map.<br>
