TX: TXLp286 question

(1/1)

CoreySamson:
It seems that TM only shows the southern side of the loop around Paris, TX as Loop 286. However, the parts that TM has missing are well signed as Loop 286 (additionally, OSM marks all of the loop as Loop 286). Is there a reason why only the southern half of Loop 286 is marked on TM? Barring that potential reason, I suggest that Loop 286 should be extended on TM over the northern half of the Paris loop.

OSM by itself doesn't really mean anything. Much like wikipedia.
But the signage certainly does though.

These routes were drafted based in large part on the designation files. Wasn't much GMSV in the process, as checking everything would just be too time consuming.

Sometimes changes show up in the designation files without ever happening on the ground. This may be one of those cases.
Also, note how this item doesn't mention a minute order. Is that significant?

If we go back to the 1957 description, that matches what's signed & in OSM.

Changed to match the 1957 description: Point order reversed, and extended at both ends to FM79.
