Should there be a graph connection (https://travelmapping.net/hb/showroute.php?units=miles&r=ky.ky3174elk) here between the two routes?
From what I can tell, since at least part of the 'interchange' between the two routes is a direct ramp connection, a graph connection would be desirable here.
Maybe even add an additional point to KY-1373 for the KY-3174 EB ramps connection to it prior to KY-80 too?

I think I drafted it like this precisely because only one direction of the interchange is a direct connection, and the other makes use of that short stretch of 1373. What do you think about a single point for 80, 1373, and 3174 there?
Another alternative would be to leave 80 as-is, and add the point for the ramps to 3174 from 1373 as you suggested, but I don't know that adding that point while making a separate graph connection for 80/3174 would be consistent.

Looking at the brand new satellite imagery (via Bing (https://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=37.314905%7E-82.356407&lvl=17.0&style=h)) that shows the 'ramp' seems to be the priority movement on the EB side over 1373. With that, I would think it's good enough to justify a graph connection with KY-80 for 3174.
As for 1373, I kinda would classify this similar to FL I-4 Exit 104. Or even like like VA I-81 Exit 313. I guess we could forgo a point on 1373 for the 3174 ramps, but I still think we should have the graph connection with 80 in the proper place.

There is also precedent for adding a point to KY1373 from the MD100/MD104/MD108 interchange, where MD108 has a point for MD100, similar to KY1373 getting a point for KY3174.

Whatever is done here, it will be messy and won't please everyone. I made the graph connection with 80 & 3174, kept 1373 separate, and added a point on 1373 for the ramp to 3174. Perhaps that last one will help someone who otherwise wouldn't get credit for driving any of 1373. https://github.com/TravelMapping/HighwayData/pull/7008

Area now looks good to me. ;)
