[Talk-us] Request revert on Changeset #33669446

[Paul Johnson]

I'm not so familiar with the K7 example, but I am intimately, first-person
familiar with the WA 500 situation.  The breakdown from what I gather in
the changeset comments is the disconnect with how it functions on the
ground and a pretty crassly mindless "but the WSDOT says it's a freeway"
idea.  WSDOT calls a divided super 2 with no shoulder a freeway as well.
Caltrans calls a 4 lane undivided highway a freeway if it's got ramps, but
I'm not sure anybody would consider the broad scope of what some American
DOT's call a freeway to be the strict and only thing that makes it a
freeway in OSM terms.
