TX: I-20 relocation at Ranger Hill
« on: January 15, 2022, 06:49:25 pm »
I-20 was realigned between exits 358 and 361 a while back... not super recent at this point?
This didn't result in any change to the highway data (hence not putting the topic on that board), because:
• The new alignment leaves & rejoins the old within the footprint of the two interchanges, so there's little point in making separate points for such, per the One Point Per Interchange rule.
• The new alignment is still within lateral tolerance between the two exits, so no shaping points were added in between them.

It didn't seem quite right to make an updates entry if nothing was really updated. :)
Those who want to mark this segment as unclinched are free to do so.

Well, it is an update to an highway. You checked our TM highway data but didn't change it because you think it is not necessary. I'd move it to the "highway data" board.....

I looked at the relocation. I'm not considering it a declinch, however I would add *OldI-20 points for the benefit of anyone who does. We've added such points for less...

Agreed. I drove that segment last year, making the change irrelevant to my bookkeeping, but I would have marked it reclinchable if I hadn't been there recently.

I suggest an Updates entry, saying I-20 was relocated (or "slightly relocated") between waypoints 358 and 361, to alert users that there was a change that they might want reflected in their list files, even if there is no change to the route file. People who want to view the change as declinching (not me) can use those points to indicate the part of the route they've no longer clinched. If the old and new alignments split within the footprints of the existing interchanges, that's close enough, never mind 1PPI. No need to add new points, or relabel existing points (the Updates entry will take care of that).

When I-80 in California was rerouted to the new eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, I inserted new points at each end of the old alignment/new alignment split. The western split is so close to an existing interchange that I had to mark the resulting NMP as a false positive. Since that point is in use, I'd leave that alone, even though I didn't consider the bridge replacement as a de-clinch. Later, I traveled the new bridge, planning my trip to do that in the toll-free direction.

The new alignment doesn't deviate from the old until about half a mile west of exit 361 and well over a mile east of exit 358.

As of this writing Goog's satellite view shows this quite clearly: the new alignment is mapped but the old is on the satellite image. Select edit with iD on OSM and similar can be seen (for an open source).

Use ESRI WorldImagery in wptedit.
The western divergence is just about exactly at existing point 358.
The eastern divergence is at about the 495365-1801 point. This is past the ramp gore, within the interchange footprint, and thus gets collapsed into 361.
I'm not looking at the distance to the center-point of the interchanges, but rather the interchange footprint as a whole.

*blink*

I was looking at interchange footprint and not just point location too. I think the reason I'm coming up with a different answer here is that I'm looking the point where the new roadway footprint and the old roadway footprint cease having any overlap as being where the new alignment diverges from the old. If you're looking at where the centerline begins to shift then... yes this is basically at the gore point of the exit at both ends. The alignment shift is so gradual here that you get a very different point of divergence depending on which definition you use.

So, we could go down the rabbit hole of asking which definition of old alignment diverging from new is more correct, but... no, it's not worth it. There is a definition of things by which what you've done is defensible so I'm content to let it be.
