[Talk-us] Request revert on Changeset #33669446

[Richie Kennedy]

Revert request opposed. At best, there needs to be additional discussion within talk-us regarding this before DWG takes any action.

I am not one of the participants that have edited WA 500 recently; however, those that have have brought this up on the AARoads forum. It is the opinion of the AA posters that significant segments of upgradable expressways that have been upgraded to fully controlled access should be tagged as motorway.

I offer as an example this stretch of Kansas Highway 7 between Bonner Springs and Olathe:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/33634149

It is 4 lane divided from Lansing to Olathe, and KDOT’s future plan is to eventually bring the entire roadway up to freeway standards. I am also personally familiar with this roadway. I have verified and marked the controlled access segments of K-7 as motorway, and the partially controlled access roads as Trunk.

Of note: the interchange at 83rd Street is marked as trunk. There is a at-grade intersection with a service road between the 83rd and Prairie Star Parkway interchanges. This intersection has, in fact, been overlooked by OSM mappers, myself included, in the past.

This is regarding WA 500 in Vancouver, Washington.  This is a surface expressway that will be later upgraded to a motorway, but currently has a mix of surface intersections and ramp style interchanges.  It appears there is a small but vocal minority of people who are attempting to start an edit war regarding this issue.
