I’ve found a few waypoint errors for LA’s interstates and US highways. Apologies if any of these are actually my own misunderstanding of the waypoint labeling rules.
I-55:
Exit 46 (https://www.google.com/maps/@30.72371,-90.5326541,3a,49.2y,12.92h,90.66t,1.38r/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sXKi7VzZxkLpwOuvRYefttA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) is incorrectly labeled “47”
US 51:
OldLA1040 -> OldBRHwy - The road is signed as Old Baton Rouge Hwy (https://www.google.com/maps/@30.500065,-90.4827813,3a,15y,165.31h,91.3t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sLcAjAbywfb0eA_toDWdpuA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu).
LA3260 -> ChuSt - LA 3260 is decommissioned. Church St. is the road's local name (https://www.google.com/maps/@30.5046154,-90.4826186,3a,46.5y,350.71h,85.12t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s1BktcwwQ65U1BhZ5wrrABw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu).
US 71:
DryBayRd -> NurHomeRd - The cross street has different names on either side of US 71, but only Nursing Home Rd. (https://www.google.com/maps/@30.6982783,-91.9473833,3a,15.9y,16.57h,91.89t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s4CM-ihUH-eyAC6FUo77REQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) is signed. The sign for Dry Bayou Rd. has been missing for years based on prior GSV imagery. I'm not sure if this warrants a waypoint name change, but I figured I would mention it.
US 80:
DumRd -> DumLineRd - The local road's name is Dummy Line Rd. (https://www.google.com/maps/@32.4883657,-91.8861849,3a,36.8y,294.6h,81.53t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sr7J6uCZho_BGD8TKr3nQFA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu)
FredMorRd -> QueRd - The local road's name is Quebec Rd. (https://www.google.com/maps/@32.4268299,-91.3025547,3a,18.5y,120.71h,88.53t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sUra51XCVXg6v4u-n-0tm0w!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu)
ColRd - This appears to be a private driveway (https://www.google.com/maps/@32.4337977,-91.2232217,3a,75y,9.05h,83.5t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1swiFOZrl4l_lldu4IhmOvOQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu). Should it be replaced with a shaping point?
US 90:
LouSt -> JohJacBlvd or JJJBlvd ? - The name on the street blade was changed to Johnny Jackson Jr. Blvd. (https://www.google.com/maps/@30.0054121,-90.0361851,3a,15.6y,254.02h,94.19t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sCYudm1lNGYyO34l7_Mb0IQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) in the past couple of years.
US 165:
HidRidRd - This waypoint is not positioned correctly.
LA125Spr -> Hwy125Spr ? - LA 125 Spur is an unsigned state highway, but there is a street blade that says Hwy 125 Spur (https://www.google.com/maps/@31.8328717,-92.3034326,3a,15.2y,275.68h,92.24t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s5TQrsQvSzwFiHbdFzv2iOA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu). I'm not sure if this warrants a change.
US 190:
7thAve_E -> 6thAve_E - The street's name is 6th Ave (https://www.google.com/maps/@30.4914862,-92.8501378,3a,16.2y,350.24h,88.19t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sd3954l7-5rjI-k0Uixb1_Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu).
LA3260 -> ChuSt - See note for US 51.
FloSt_W - > CauApp - The street is signed as E. Causeway Approach (https://www.google.com/maps/@30.3714097,-90.0751432,3a,15y,337.49h,95.57t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s8bPfhxaotwyeIMnZJLbqjA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu). Florida St. is the name of US 190 itself.

No worries. This is useful, but not particularly necessary, as neroute1 already provided a nice long list that I have yet to go through. Low priority at the moment. But please keep those reroutes, truncations, and deletions coming whenever you discover them!
-
Yeah, I have a long list for mapcat that I can always copy/paste these changes to whenever you see them. That is what I have done here.

Ok, sounds good. I didn't realize there was already a list. Is it on the forum somewhere? If I run across anything, I'll check to make sure it hasn't already been reported. I'll continue to keep an eye on the truncations, etc.

No, it is just in a Google Doc so that mapcat does not feel that these changes need to be done five minutes after posting here.
