A few point requests for MD 223 in southern Prince George's County:
- add a point at Old Branch Avenue in Clinton
- move the point at Greenfield Lane (a tiny residential street) over a block to Temple Hill Road (a much more important arterial)
- (if possible) a couple more points, at Tippett Road and Windbrook Drive
- and based on signage, it looks like the southernmost segment of the route should be removed from TM: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.7029964,-76.9667656,3a,15y,24.69h,90.27t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1subDoFyGuyHXDuatgfh5Mpg!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DubDoFyGuyHXDuatgfh5Mpg%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D46.730843%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

Do you need all of these points to map your travels or...?
The point at Greenfield Lane is there for shaping purposes so it stays.
As for the south end, it is correct as mapped per Highway Location Reference (https://roads.maryland.gov/OPPEN/2021%20Prince%20George's.pdf). This was previously discussed here (https://forum.travelmapping.net/index.php?topic=4253.msg23210#msg23210) and none of the things pointed out appear to have changed since then. 2021 HLR shows the end at the dead end just as 2019 HLR does, and the shield on Livingston Ave was still there as of May 2022.

They would help me map travels, yes.
I'll defer to the rules and mores and norms for everything else.

Thanks for adding points. I still think that you could leave a shaping point at Greenfield Lane if you feel it's necessary and add a real point to Temple Hill Road, which is a major arterial (includes bus routes, etc.) for that area, but that's just me I guess.
