[Talk-us] Requesting to remove stoplines in San Jose

[Saikrishna Arcot]

Hi,

I've seen the new stoplines in San Jose as well, and the reason they're
not useful as-is IMO is because they're not connected to the main road
that has the stop line; it's just a floating disconnected way. If they
were connected to the road, then it would be more useful to data users,
but in their current state, for it to be of use, data users would have
to do some additional processing on their end to find out what way it
intersects to see where it applies.
