usams: Mississippi State Highways

[vespertine]

One thing I noticed...the listing for MS740 doesn't include the stub that goes east to Shands Bottom Rd. Signage from the exit ramps on I-55, MS740 and on Shands Bottom Rd all indicate this as part of the route.

Looks like the MDOT mileage log concurs.

Added the remainder of the MS 4xx routes today, as well as MS 741.  Extended MS 740 slightly to the east as noted in the thread, and tweaked the Scenic MS 304 waypoints as suggested by James.

Should of also mentioned the ones on US-51 as well.  Just noticed this and would suggest the following changes on US-51's file too:

MS304Sce_S -> MS304Sce_N (if it isn't currently is use yet) (since this is where the route 'technically' goes north from US-51 from the multiplex)
MS306 -> MS306/304Sce (should mention both routes due to the 304Sce multiplex)
MS304Sce_N -> MS304Sce (since it's not the end/beginning of a multiplex, and just a normal intersection with MS-304Sce)

Pleased to report that I have added the remaining Mississippi state routes.  Unless I'm missing some process, usams should be able to be moved to preview now.

YEAH!!!!

No, go for it!

^^^ Thanks. I've just added all my usams routes to my list file. I threw them into a pending pull request with assorted other updates, mainly from this week's trip to North Carolina.

The first site update with usams in preview is now live on the main site.  Thanks @froggie for all the work on this.

I'll give it a few days for any quick fixes to be noted, then create the first METAL graph archive set where I can claim state highway sets are included for all 50 states.

I don't have a whole lot of travels in MS off the Interstates and US highways, but the few state routes I have traveled inch me a little closer to the elusive 100,000 mile active+preview club.

Thanks @froggie. The promotion to preview brings up the question: Anyone volunteer for peer-reviewing?

Let me forewarn you that there are at least a few routes (one section of MS 570, for example) that are orphans and are not connected to the rest of the network.

Thanks for the warning, but I'll consider that more pedagogically interesting than problematic.

I nominate Markkos
(mapcat will thank me later)

[mapcat]

@osu-lsu: I would support Markkos if he wants the job, but in case you missed it, rlee has traveled 75% of the state's highways and has contributed greatly to this thread, even getting a peer-review started. So I nominate rlee.

I've got some point requests:

MS 7 at CR436 where it crosses MS 7 just north of Coffeeville (or just move the existing CR436 point to this intersection instead)
MS 370 (Ashland) at Court St in Ashland
MS 468 where it joins/leaves S College St

Also, both MS 53 and MS 589 incorrectly name the point for I-59 "I-55".

     (Well I guess mapcat will thank you after the Columbus Meet. Though my route plan is already complete for that.  I did not even look deeply at mapcat's recent huge Ohio update because I have been working on other things.)

I have my own long trip coming up to Florida at the beginning of March so I would prefer that someone else amongst the huge list of people that keep asking for this to be done ASAP to do it.
