Title: PA: I-80 Notes Around Stroudsburg
Post by: Markkos1992 on October 03, 2018, 05:47:07 pm
1.  In my update for PA 611 today (see https://github.com/TravelMapping/HighwayData/pull/2267), I changed GapRd (in-use) on PA 611 to I-80(310). 

2. Back to the lining up fun, I saw that the 307 label on I-80 does not line up  with PA 611 or PA 191.  This is presumably because this was treated as one interchange when drafted; however, based on the manual, I believe that both should have points based on the double half interchanges rule.  I was tentatively thinking 307 for PA 611 and 307A for PA 191, but I have not done this as of yet.

Quote
Double half interchanges: Usually use one central point and treat both halves as a single, full interchange. Exceptions: a clear gap of at least 0.5 mi/0.8 km separates the two halves, or each half connects to a different highway that we are also mapping.

3.  I believe that the 311 label on I-80 should be removed because GSV (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.9843184,-75.1379309,3a,60y,353.7h,90.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s4ws0I-x_n9FHC4BpwyAkmg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) shows it being for emergency and authorized vehicles only.

Was it always that way? It appears to have been open to the public in 1988 (https://www.historicaerials.com/location/40.9845/-75.1379/1988/18).

1. Shapefiles & GMSV (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.9881104,-75.1507678,3a,15y,351.49h,87.34t/data=!3m9!1e1!3m7!1sOz-h2yebNqf0dRVqWRFzlQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!9m2!1b1!2i41) agree on Foxtown Hill Rd.

2. Sounds good.

3. Eh, there was that one time I rode in an ambulance!  ;D
The ME I-95 Saco Hotel & Conf. Ctr. "exit" was Exit 5 proper (https://www.historicaerials.com/location/43.51987836193785/-70.46051502227783/1970/16) until the early 1980s. I could have a cab driver drop me off there & re-enter the highway, while I become a pedestrian. ;)

My own memory is of the exit that got renumbered as exit 311 having been open to all traffic in the 1980s. If that's no longer the case, mark it closed.

I already decided on that.  Personally I think we should eventually start removing closed points that are not in-use, but that is another low-priority discussion for years down the road.

I-80(310) will be FoxHillRd_E.

One final note is that I also went ahead and lined up US 209 BUS with PA 191.

Naah. A new user could always come along, who needs to map some old travels (http://travelmapping.net/hb/index.php?units=miles&u=yakra&r=nb.nb001).

^ Indeed.  I also have at least a couple examples in my states where they function well as shaping points.
