General Web Design Discussion / Re: Clinched Routes Highway Shields

Try now, I forgot to put one of the files in place and then forgot to clear those from the server's shield cache.

Batch 5 ready for testing on tmdevel.teresco.org

The usaaz Loop shields are working fine. However, the MI185 shield does not show up (displays the default usami shield as before), and the "te" prefix remains in the shields for canmbw. Triple checked for typos and found none, so I'm at a loss as to why only the one change worked.

I got back last week from yet another road trip, basically a triangular trip from home to Minnesota and the Dakotas where many of my relatives live, south to Tulsa (Extra Miler Club annual meeting) largely via US 59, then a mostly-Interstate drive home. Less interesting than my Canada trip above, but I did a lot of route clinching.

One objective was to complete US 59, from Laredo to the Canadian border. I came close, missing a short segment in NW Missouri due to a bridge reconstruction closure. Also, I expect to soon lose more of my US 59 clinch in various places in Texas, as parts of US 59 are moved to new I-69 alignments. That will be a moving target for awhile.

I re-clinched US 12 (relocated in Willmar MN) and US 311 (relocated in Danville VA), and clinched most of the Tulsa freeway network (including the LL Tisdale Parkway, Gilcrease Expy, OK 344, and OK 364).

Lesser route clinches:

partially-completed US 522 Bypass in Berkeley Springs WV
MN 9
MN 220
MN 317
MN 269
MN 270
ND 44
SD 11
SD 42 (including separate Aurora County segment)
SD 48
SD 115
US 169 Alt (Nowata OK)
OK 28A
OK 167
OK 266
US 31 Business (Franklin TN)
TN 162 (part of bypass of a temporary I-40 closure)
VA 62
VA 119

This point thing has potential for other uses - you could do a similar thing with other things that's basically a binary "I've been here" with some ability to give different codes to describe your visit. Eg National Parks (though preferably that would have areas that are coloured rather than points. But National Historic Sites would probably work better as points).

Great ideas! I agree that national parks should be areas instead of points, but the scripts here should be easy to modify for other travel-related destination displays, assuming there's a demand not already being met somewhere else.

I pulled in a couple of new .alist files on GitHub then pulled the results down onto the TM server.  So the two new users are there now.

I couldn't force a hard enough reload in Firefox to see the updates, maybe I have to manually clear something from its cache.  I'm seeing the latest data when I load in a different browser.

I'll look into that since I usually don't have that issue after it rebuilds the pages.

An issue I found in my data is that I listed each flight separately in order, and the data only shows the final line with that airport in rather than stacking the multiple lines and saying that I've both landed and departed.

This is perhaps more a feature request than a bug to fix.

Thanks for trying that. I had not considered that users might want to enter data that way, but will work on it some more and see if it's possible for the script to combine data from lines that begin with the same code.

Updates to Highway Data / Re: LA: LA-67 point suggestions

« Last post by cenlaroads on Yesterday at 05:35:33 pm »

Thanks.  According to LA DOTD's road transfer maps, that section of LA 67 was deleted last year.  I've been waiting for confirmation that signs have been removed.  If this section of highway will be removed from TM soon, I'm not sure it would be worth it to add the points.

Updates to Highway Data / SD: Big Stone Lake area point name updates

« Last post by the_spui_ninja on Yesterday at 05:16:14 pm »

So I went for a drive in Grant County the other day, and I noticed some point names were missing county road designations. I've been adding county road networks throughout SD in OSM, and was planning on calling all of these out across the state once I was done, but no harm in starting now I guess.

SD 15:

CR309 -> CR3/309
476thAve -> CR1
161stSt -> CR18
145thSt -> CR4_Gra
CR11 -> CR11/24
CR4 -> CR4_Rob
458thAve -> CR17/34

SD 109:

482ndAve -> CR4

US 12 (just east of the interstate):

CR29 needs to be recentered to the east
464thAve -> CR6
CR7 needs to be recentered to the west
148thSt_E needs to be recentered to the east
471stAve -> CR17
149thSt -> MilAve
482ndAve -> CR35 (and needs recentering)
CR37 -> CR39
