<div dir="auto">I'd agree with having US 1 be trunk through the RI 138 interchange. My rule of thumb is that if there's a stretch of road that has an interchange sandwiched between two at-grade intersections, then that whole road should be tagged as trunk. Only if there's two or more consecutive interchanges along a stretch of road should the road be tagged as motorway. This seems to reflect standard tagging practice in the US.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Evin Fairchild (compdude)</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jan 26, 2021, 11:30 AM Albert Pundt <<a href="mailto:roadsguy99@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">roadsguy99@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><p dir="ltr">(Resending because I forgot to Reply All.) </p><p dir="ltr">The only unambiguously motorway section is RI 4 from I-95 down to the Oak Hill Road intersection.

Within a few hundred yards, US-1 has non-crossing at-grade intersections with two residential streets (one on each side).<br><br>Immediately south of these residential streets, US-1 goes through a full cloverleaf intersection with RI-138, built to Interstate standards (it was part of a later-abandoned Interstate expansion).<br><br>For the next six miles, US-1 is a 4-line divided highway with signalized intersections and one-side intersections with surface roads until it approaches east of the village of Wakefield.<br><br>For the next 2.3 miles, US-1 returns to grade-separated interchanges as it passes east and south of Wakefield.<br><br>For the final 11 miles, US-1 features at-grade tight merges and exits on either side of the road, with frequent U-turn ramps in the wide median. Traffic that needs to cross US-1 needs to merge onto the highway, U-turn at the next median, and then take an off-ramp on the opposite side of the highway. This stretch ends at a traffic light in Charlestown, after which it continues as a surface road with at-grade crossing intersections.<br><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/98127926" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/98127926</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/98150591" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/98150591</a></div><div>[3] <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/98150825" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/98150825</a></div></div></div>
