Deletion is highly dependent on the quality of TIGER ways in each
region: many TIGER roads near me were directly derived from government
data, probably 0.1cm accuracy. I haven't gone out to collect surface
type, speed limits, lane configurations confirmed road name and
therefore not touched them but they're very serviceable for automobile
navigation.
