Harvey, director of community development, Campbell County, Virginia, about the "named driveways" issue. He gave me more information about road conventions in Virginia.<br class=""> 1. I noticed that the driveway from the highway to Rustberg High School had a four-digit number. Harvey replied, "VDOT IVirginia Department of Transportation) assigns those four digit numbers to roads that serve public facilities like schools."<br class=""> 2. Campbell County requires that any driveway that serves three houses or more be named. Residents choose the name, so it can be a family name.<br class=""> 3. The named driveways that I am seeing is a different issue and may, indeed, be a mistake. He has asked the county's GIS technician to look into it.<br class=""> This kind of information makes all of our mapping better. I will add this to the wiki, but it would be great if this information were available as a pop-up or some other mechanism while people are mapping.<br class=""><br class="">Charlotte<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">Charlotte Wolter<br class="">927 18th Street Suite A<br class="">Santa Monica, California<br class="">90403<br class="">+1-310-597-4040<br class=""><a href="mailto:techlady@techlady.com" class="">techlady@techlady.com</a><br class="">Skype: thetechlady<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">Talk-us mailing list<br class="">Talk-us@openstreetmap.org<br class="">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us<br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
