Is is just me, or should we change the way that's mapped?
Currently, we have 'Exit 10 (https://travelmapping.net/hb/showroute.php?units=miles&r=nc.i885&lat=35.975436&lon=-78.853619&zoom=15)' @ Carr Road, just to the 'north' of the main I-885/US-70 interchange. While both routes should have a point there, I think it really should be '10A' with the 'real 10' being at the center point of the big interchange.
10 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.975471&lon=-78.854027
These are both completely separate interchanges, and should be mapped as so IMO.
Plus, the label(s) along I-885 in US-70's file should be *(885) labels, with the true '10' point being 288B (https://maps.app.goo.gl/8CQcMnZ8cbpUeDvx7), as that's what exit number is posted for it on US-70.

I agree with these changes.

It's worth noting that the only direct ramp between Carr Rd and I-885 is a northbound on-ramp. There is no direct exit from 885 to Carr Rd...the southbound "exit" is effectively an elongated-diamond from the exit to NC 98.
Agree the 885/70 point should be moved. Definitely should be a Carr Rd point for US 70 but not convinced a visible point is needed for 885 (maybe as a hidden point to not break the 885/70 concurrency?). If a visible point is added for 885, though, I would disagree with "10A" for a label as the only exit number for that road is the Exit 288A on westbound US 70.
(EDIT:) Also noticing that several waypoints on 885 are off-center based on both OSM and ESRI World Imagery.

I have renumbered the '10' point on 885 to 288A(70) and changed US 70 to have this point 288A
I have added a new 10 at the big interchange for 885 and the same for US 70...
A changes entry will be needed because I could not retain 10 as an alt name at Carr Rd for 885...
