VA: VA 208 and VA 208 BUS Minor Point Errors
« on: January 29, 2021, 03:00:33 pm »
VA 208:
1.    A point could be added at SR 636 (Hood Rd) due to the “TO I-95” sign.  I did not see a “TO VA 208” on US 1 NB at SR 636 though.
2.   LyoLn should be demoted to an invisible shaping point.
3.   It looks like FreCreRd is not at a road.  I recommend replacing it with SR 720 to the south. (also affects US 522)
4.   The shaping point just north of Downtown Mineral can probably be replaced with a point at SR 667. (also affects US 522)
5.   1stSt should be 1stSt_E. (also affects US 522)

VA 208 BUS (Spotsylvania):
Points at SR 613 (Brock Rd) and SR 608 (Massaponax Church Rd) look to be useful for better shaping.

There has never been (in last 25 years anyway) a To VA 208 shield from US 1 anywhere.  I-95 traffic to Spotsylvania VA 208 is directed to use SR 711 Southpoint Pkwy.  IIRC prior to Southpoint Pkwy's existence the BGS at Exit 126 did not mention Spotsylvania.

That makes sense.  It may have made more sense to someone like me if VA 208 was referenced from US 1/US 17 and I-95 to explain that better.  I am young enough to remember the control city for US 1/US 17 SB there to still be Massaponax.

VA 208 has probably been the route that I wanted to clinch the most that I could never find a good way to fit in.  It is hard to justify myself going southwest from Fredericksburg when my parents live to the south and I had normally been coming from the northwest via US 17.
