Folks,<br><br>
<x-tab>        </x-tab>I wrote to
TIGER about the false "driveways" issue that I discovered, and
got a reply from Anne O'Connor of TUGER. Apparently it is a known issue,
but they would like to hear about any others that we may find.<br><br>

Charlotte,<br><br>
<br>
Thank you for your inquiry.<br><br>
<br>
We gather all of our road data from local sources, we then test that
data, and, if it passes, we add it to our TIGER database.  We also
make sure that the data works well with the rest of our data.  That
said, we sometimes have residual issues with the data.  <br><br>
<br>
In this case, the problems with named driveways came from the partner
files we received during the MAF/TIGER Accuracy Improvement Project
(MTAIP) in the mid-2000s.  MTAIP was used to update TIGER, and a
majority of the time we uploaded the information into our database
expecting it to be correct and accurate from the source, but in some
cases it was not.  Staffing, timing, and software restrictions
during those years also provided some issues, and we sometimes weren't
able to run a 100% QC on a file, or target the problems as easily as we
can now.  <br><br>
Looking at the area in question, we ran this county through MTAIP in
September 2005, and those named driveways were introduced then. 
There was actually a note made "Many driveways added, some with
names" at the time.<br><br>
<br>
You noted an issue in Campbell County, VA, if you know of any other areas
where this kind of problem is wide-spread, please let us know and we'll
take a look.  This may take some time, but we do make every effort
to continue to improve the quality of our files.  <br><br>
Sincerely,<br><br>
Anne<br><br>

<b>Subject:</b> Why do driveways end up with street names??</font> <br>
 <br>
<font size=2>Hello, TIGER staff,<br><br>
         I am a member of
OpenStreetMap abd mpa mostly in the United <br>
States. There is an issue with TIGER data that continually creates <br>
problems, particularly in rural areas,<br>
         The issue is that, many
times, driveways, particularly long <br>
ones in rural areas, end up with the names of the street they <br>
intersect. I ran across a particularly aggravating example of this <br>
problem in Rustberg, Virginia. There, every almost driveway in town <br>
has been given the name of the street it intersects. In addition, <br>
there are dozens of false driveways with names. The "false"
driveways <br>
consist of a node on the street and a second node a few feet away. <br>
Occasionally they correspond to an actual driveway to a house or <br>
business, but much of the time they correspond to nothing (except, <br>
perhaps, the GPS node of the house).<br>
         I have worked for the
census, and I know how you gather <br>
address data. I, too, have recorded GPS nodes for each building in my
<br>
neighborhood. However, this seems to be an issue with how the data is
<br>
processed.<br>
         Are you working on
something to correct this ongoing problem <br>
with driveway names?<br><br>
