Wow. NT and SA A3 look especially useless for the designation.

AUSWA N94 has a bad trace in the Coolgardie area.

I've fixed that issue locally. It seems the commenting out was done locally at all, hence why the master copy doesn't have it, breaking checks.

[si404]

Now pulled the fix in (after checking) - it works and can be pulled into personal branches to perform checks.

[Bickendan]

Hmm, does it matter that N1 in Tasmania is a T-route, intersecting with itself just south of downtown Lauriceton? Coupled with both routes being of similar length, it's why I didn't set one or the other as the 'main' segment.

[si404]

We can change it back to that, but precedent elsewhere here is that you have a long route and a short spur rather than two roughly similar lengths.

Here's a first batch of peer review comments on ausm to start with.

AUS-ACT M23:
- B52/B23 -> B23_S (B52 is not signed in this area)
- relocate LimeKilnRd to halfway between RIROs

AUS-NSW M1Bal:
- NSW2 -> B2? This is a short connector to QLD2. QLD retains the old SR system while NSW has converted to B instead. But it is signed with an SR shield.
- PacHwy -> SexHillDr
- ClotCreRd -> CloCreRd
- WilfSt -> WilSt
- T40_S -> T28/40
- T28/T30 -> B62/30 (T28 is not signed here, B62 is - only use higher level designator)
- BanRd -> T24/28

AUS-NSW M1Woo:
- despite being motorway grade this is all signed as A1. Join with A1Gra and A1Cof.

AUS-NSW M1Haw:
- Combine B83_N and A49 into A49/83 (one point per interchange)
- NSW33 -> T33
- B83_MW -> B83_Mou
- B83_Haw could use recentering
- More shaping points will be needed along segment paralelling B83 to prevent the two from crossing where they don't once ausb is drafted.
- B83_S -> B83_Ber
- Informational note: freeway construction is underway extending south. Not sure if will be numbered M1 or not.

AUS-NSW M1Kem:
- despite being motorway grade this is all signed as A1. Join with A1Eun and A1Bul.

AUS-NSW M1SHB:
- not signed as M1, delete route (or move to an aussf system?)

AUS-NSW M1Syd:
- recheck north end. Interchange with M2 convoluted. Unclear from signage where exactly M1 begins/ends.
- M1SHB_N -> CahExpy_N
- M1SHB_S -> CahExpy_S
- remove BridgSt (no access to/from M1 here, only to/from CahExpy)
- remove ArtGalRd (no access here)
- combine BotRd and MillPondRd (one point per interchange)
- ForeRd -> ForRd

You mean LILOs! 

AUS-NSW M1Bal:
- NSW2 -> B2? This is a short connector to QLD2. QLD retains the old SR system while NSW has converted to B instead. But it is signed with an SR shield.

I'm going to say it's QLD2 extending over the boundary.

AUS-NSW M1Kem:
- despite being motorway grade this is all signed as A1. Join with A1Eun and A1Bul.

- on the route its signed as M1, but otherwise A1. Holding off for now, pending further investigation (ditto N end of Sydney section).

Er... yes, that would be how that works wouldn't it.

Funny thing about countries that drive on the opposite side of the road from what I'm used to - my brain tends to want to adapt to this by simply mirroring the definitions of left and right, since this is easier than having to re-conceptualize the significance of every instance of either word.

This works great in my head, but it makes communicating concepts of relative direction to others challenging.

Anyway, moving on...

N end of Sydney section

As I've had time to think about it a little more I think the endpoint is correct as mapped, because it makes M1 continuous with A1, and that's how routes in Australia seem to work - the same number will run for an entire corridor but change classification where warranted.
The location of the M1/M2 junction probably needs to move east to where the carriageways join though.

And here's batch 2 of comments.


AUS-NSW M1Kem:
If kept in ausm the following applies:
- NSW12/14 -> T12/14
- MacValWay_N -> T12_S
- MacValWay_S -> MacVlyWay
- NSW10 -> T10


AUS-NSW M1Uru:
- despite being motorway grade this is all signed as A1. Join with A1Eun and A1Cof

AUS-NSW M1Wol:
- combine NorAve and UniAve (one point per interchnge)
- 5IslRd -> FiveIslRd

AUS-NSW M2:
- check east end (see also comment on M1Syd)
- A2/A40 -> A2/40

AUS-NSW M4:
- combine ConRd and A4/44 (one point per interchange)

AUS-NSW M5:
- M7/M31 -> M7/31

AUS-NSW M7:
- M5/M31 -> M5/31

AUS-NSW M15:
- OK

AUS-NSW M31:
- Some drama going on with exit numbering on this road. It appears exit numbers 1-12 were added to the route in ~2016, as a sort of pilot project perhaps. Then, in April 2018 the exit numbers south of exit 6 were removed. This is generally corroborated by looking at GMSV imagery from different dates, and is also noted in this thread on the Aussie Highways Newsgroup: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/aussie-highways/2y5W7_vnKHU
So in terms of point labeling that gives us:
   - M5/M7 -> 1
   - A28 -> 2
   - CamRd_Cas -> 2A
   - BroRd -> 3
   - CamRd_Ing -> 4
   - RabRd and CamRd_Woo -> 5 (numbered exit and one point per interchange)
   - A9 -> 6
   - 7 -> B88
   - 8 -> AvonDamRd
   - 9 -> T12_Yan
   - 10 -> T12_Col
   - 11 -> B73
   - 12 -> OldHumeHwy_Wel
- OldHumeHwy -> OldHumeHwy_Ber
- add point for interchange at Sally's Corner Rd (south of A48)

[si404]

- NSW12/14 -> T12/14
- A2/A40 -> A2/40
- M7/M31 -> M7/31
- M5/M31 -> M5/31

From The Manual

Drop the prefix of the second highway if it is more than one character long. A5/A6 becomes A5/A6. I-5/I-6 becomes I-5/6. I-25/US50 becomes I-25/50.

[yakra]

Just had a look at ausvic.m001.
Why does it have 1(E) and 1(W) style labels, rather than E1 and W1?

[si404]

I don't know why they have them, but I can tell you that they still have them because I didn't change them when I took the route 1 routes and cleaned them up a little and added other routes.

[Bickendan]

I used E1 and W1 when I drafted the route.

[si404]

You're right. I remember changing them now. Don't remember why! Will change back.
