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

« Last post by the_spui_ninja on July 24, 2025, 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

Solved Highway data updates / Re: LA: I-59 exit number issue

« Last post by cenlaroads on July 24, 2025, 05:15:13 pm »

I-10/12 -> 1 - Has always had exit numbers since the beginning on GSV.  Not sure why we avoided having them in the file.

Thank you.  This was also on Markkos1992's list.  I was going to make all changes at once, but this should probably be prioritized.

Solved Highway data updates / Re: LA: I-110 Exit number issues

« Last post by cenlaroads on July 24, 2025, 05:13:13 pm »

I-10 -> 1K or 1I (yes, that's a capital letter I)
2B -> should we 'also' have a 2C here for the other ramp from I-110 to LA-67?  Seems two separate graph connections with LA-67 would be justifiable here.
4A -> 4
4B -> 5A
5 -> 5B (yes, signed the same number both directions)
8 -> 8A (yes, I know we have '8A' currently on the ending point, so, if you don't want to make this change I can understand.)
8A -> 8B or 8C (would go with '8B', as that's what's currently mentioned in US-61's file)

==

All changes would also have to be applied to 'LA GRRBat', sans the ending label one @ I-10/I-110.

https://github.com/TravelMapping/HighwayData/pull/8520

Thanks.  Some of these were included in a list that Markkos1992 provided a while back.  I've been slowly working through it.  I made all of these changes except the following, for now:

2B -> should we 'also' have a 2C here for the other ramp from I-110 to LA-67?  Seems two separate graph connections with LA-67 would be justifiable here.

The points would be 0.26 miles apart.  Would 1PPI apply here?

8 -> 8A (yes, I know we have '8A' currently on the ending point, so, if you don't want to make this change I can understand.)

I didn't change it for the reason you mentioned.  8A will need to remain an alternate label for the northern end.

Solved Highway data updates / Re: LA: LA-415 southern end

« Last post by cenlaroads on July 24, 2025, 05:08:53 pm »

Seems the route goes south of I-10.

EB off-ramp from I-10
WB off-ramp from I-10

Seems like it might officially go as far south as the I-10 Frontage Road.

Thanks, DOTD maps also show it ending at the frontage road.  Extended.

General Web Design Discussion / Re: Clinched Routes Highway Shields

« Last post by cockroachking on July 24, 2025, 04:58:02 pm »

Batch 5 Summary:
 - canmbw: Fixed code to chop off the erroneous “te” prefix. (All I had to do was swap lines; the “R” from “Rte” was getting chopped off first.)
 - MI MI185: Added shield.
 - usaaz Loops: Added shields.

https://github.com/TravelMapping/Web/pull/850

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Puerto Rico has never had shields on the site, because there are four styles in use and because some routes use more than one of them. GMSV is very spotty outside the cities, so it's possible we'll never know the status of some signage. Should we keep things as they are and continue using the site's default shield, pick one of the four in use there as a new default, or create shields on an individual basis for roads where signage is known?

Similarly, gbna, imna, jeya, jeyb and nira have two different shield styles with some routes using both, hence why shields haven't been created.

Here's some wikimedia commons shields for tourist routes (not sure what ones are useable, just did the grunt work of hunting down actual shields):

Noting here point revisions that might need to be done after the relocation on OH 13 is done.

OH 229: US36, OH13_N
OH 13: OH229_S (OH 229 is an east-west route.)
OH 3: OH13

« Last post by si404 on July 24, 2025, 02:03:36 pm »

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.

Welcome & Notices / Re: Site update schedule interruptions

« Last post by Jim on July 24, 2025, 01:20:02 pm »

I am traveling for a little over a week starting tomorrow.  This one might be more disruptive to the site update schedule than most of my trips, but I do expect to be able to run one most if not all days.

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.

Added my stuff - https://github.com/TravelMapping/AirportData/pull/3

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).
