[Talk-us] US Trunk road tagging

[Sam Ley]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to address the original post for a moment - I am a local of this
area (born and raised in Larimer County) and drive these roads all the
time. I also had some discussions with the user Oregonian3 when they
changed some road classifications in Denver about their methods.

The short answer is that I think the updates are fine, and some of them
actually make a lot of sense (upgrading Taft in Loveland to secondary makes
a lot of sense based on how traffic patterns work in that area). When we
discussed Denver changes, the user seemed to be using a variety of sources,
including the traffic counts, but it was well thought out street by street
- not a blind import at all.

While road classification is a fun topic that we all love very much, I'd
suggest that for the original post, this isn't harmful, and doesn't require
a block.

If anyone has questions or concerns about a particular classification
change that doesn't seem right, or would like to make a polite suggestion
that the user explain a bit more about their sources in the changeset then
perhaps that should happen in a changeset comment or direct message to the
user.
