[Talk-us] South Carolina State Highways - primary overload

[James Mast]

Tim,

I sent the user a message inside of OSM that did all of this changing of the state highways in SC to primary/trunk and haven't gotten a response back yet in over 24h.  I'll be contacting the DWG later tonight (giving the guy another ~5 hours to respond before I e-mail the DWG) about this subject.  So please don't try to do many more changes just in case they decide a mass revert of this users changesets is the best way to fix all of this.  That way, there will not be any major conflicts when they try to do this if possible.

-James

I found this to be very annoying.  I did a lot of work on the SC Highways some time back.  I noticed that in a few counties most of the state highways were marked as primary.  I reverted most of them back to secondary except for the ones that were truly trunk routes.  Its frustrating to see work that you spent a lot of time and effort on get "vandalized" as such

So, does anybody else agree with me on this subject of "primary

overload" in South Carolina?  If so, how do we go about fixing this with

a reasonable approach?  Looking at some of the history of some of the

ways, it seems that only one user was doing the "upgrade" from secondary

to primary/trunk over the past 4+ months.




 Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with DOT classifications in general.



 At first, the user seemed to be knowledgeable about highway classifications for the segments in question.   But I agree - now that nearly everything was just changed to primary, it seems to be both less useful and inconsistent with most of the rest of the US.   It seems that the intent was to match some other map rendering or road classification which has fewer classification levels.
