KY: I-69/WK & Pennyrile (Fut I-169) Parkway interchange
« on: September 10, 2018, 10:16:55 pm »
With the way the interchange has been reconfigured, I-69 technically doesn't go thru the old cloverleaf anymore, and those parts are still officially the Parkways as far as I understand.

When using the WPTEditor to check the distance between the ramps & the cloverleaf, they are .55 miles (more than what's recommended for 'split' interchanges) from where I would recommend centering each ramp (106A & 106B):

Code: [Select]
106A http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=37.212601&lon=-87.451226
106(original) http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=37.212451&lon=-87.441312
106B http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=37.220043&lon=-87.443318

As for a place to relocate the '106' point to, I'd just move it to 106A's placement due to that section having become part of I-69 first.

As for the parkways there, I'd extend both of them to the new '106A & 106B' points.  WK would be '38A' (StreetView) & the current 38 (@ the cloverleaf) would become 38B, Pennyrile would be '34C' (StreetView).

Still a single interchange.
Consider the canonical example of MD I-97 @ 7.

I'm not inclined to split this interchange despite the < 0.5 mile distance. Perhaps it should be recentered, but it's not clear to me how splitting it would benefit any users.

Yeah, I'd still consider it one interchange as well, so we should keep it as one point per the "one point per interchange" rule.

At first I thought it seemed like multiple interchanges, but the current signage (here) makes me think that this could be put on the backburner until I-169 is signed and that signage is put up.
