usala: Louisiana State Highways

[mapcat]

https://github.com/TravelMapping/HighwayData/pull/4552 updates datacheckfps and pulls in the change to LA 430.

The GIS is still down, but the only route I need it to confirm is 3124 (location of south end after truncation).

Since there haven't been any additional comments, I'd like to activate usala on Tuesday (the 16th). Seems like the appropriate day.

I'll check to see if they've fixed the GIS again before Tuesday, but if it doesn't update, I'm willing to use the former city limits neroute2 identified as the south end a little over a year ago.

GIS is back up. LA 3124 has been truncated to the former S limit of Bogalusa, so I chose "End" as the waypoint name.

Found an edit for you as I’ve been updating my LA highways.

On LA 620, the first marker says LA 143 and it should be LA413.

Also, in reading this thread, I saw where you’re only putting highways that are signed. There are more spurs and highways on the official highway log, but that you’re going by ones signed in the field. There is a signed Truck LA 743 in the field. It goes westward from the junction of US 190 and LA 743 following US 190 to I-49, then following I-49 north to the next exit, exit 23, then eastward along La 744 back to LA 743. There is a large WalMart distribution center there on LA 743. And the road south along 743 to US 190 is narrow and windy.

Good catch, thanks. Changed in my local copy.

Thanks for this also. It's signed pretty clearly at the south end, and from 190 onto 49, but after that I can't see any more signs. The route you describe is logical (and there's a generic "TRUCK ROUTE" sign pointing north away from the distribution center toward 744), so even though it's incompletely signed I'm inclined to include it all the way to the 743/744 junction.

Not sure how useful this is, but DOTD provides an interface to convert Lat/Lon data to mileposts. Might be helpful if needing to confirm numbers. http://www8.dotd.la.gov/latlong.net/latlong.aspx
