ME: ME 701/Scarborough Connector
« on: August 22, 2016, 11:51:30 am »
OK, it's not signed in the traditional sense, but...


If it can't be added to usame, how about usasf?

ISTR a route signed only on mile markers (or was it a blade sign? or was that a different route? mumble) being left out of usanj.

I'll add it to usasf.
This and 703 (neither had mile markers at the time) were left out of CHM for being too short. As we've since revisited those criteria, I'm fine with including it in TM.

Heck, I'd probably be the one most enthusiastic about including it; it's just laziness that's kept me from doing so. That and also wanting to include 703 at the same time, though there's no reason I'd have to do so. Adding in just ScaCon for now is fine.

On the topic of 703:
That's the Maine Turnpike spur from Exit 45 of I-95 to US1 in South Portland. I've left it out because I can't settle on anything good to name it.
There's no known, consistent, stable road name, nothing signed. So that's right out. It's just posted as [TO] (the stuff at the other end).

usasf;ME;METpk;spr;SPo;South Portland, ME;me.metpksprspo
doesn't sit quite right with me: IMO this implies an actual bannered route, signed with a SPUR banner above the route shield, etc. If shield.php evolves to the point where it shows banners above the shields, it might be shown this way, incorrectly.
One possible solution is to remove the "spr" from the banner field and include it in the route name:
usasf;ME;METpkSpr;;SPo;South Portland, ME;me.metpksprspo
Or, we could simple have it as
usasf;ME;METpk;;SPo;South Portland, ME;me.metpkspo
Denoting a section of Maine Turnpike in South Portland.
Thoughts?

Cool :D . Thanks!


No strong opinion on 703 other than to avoid something that the shield generator might get wrong.

Dammit, 703 intersects 701, so I still have to name it *something* as a point label.
Code: [Select]
US1 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=43.603485&lon=-70.318508
MTAppRd http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=43.623778&lon=-70.319672&zoom=15
Bro http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=43.628003&lon=-70.318127&zoom=15
I-295 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=43.629211&lon=-70.317392
Some variant of "Maine Turnpike Approach Rd" seems to be the consensus of online maps including OSM, so how about I go with MTAppRd, as that meets the labeling guidelines? US1 & ME9 can be changed to conform.
Going with that, how about adding 703 to usasf as MTAppRd (Maine Turnpike Approach Rd)?
Code: [Select]
I-95 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=43.632068&lon=-70.344129

I'll go with MTAppRd, then. What the hey, even "Scarborough Connector" isn't signed as such in the field; it's just what maps seem to agree on. So in a sense, I'm using a similar naming convention between the two of them.
