https://github.com/TravelMapping/HighwayData/pull/2911TX I-169 extendedInterstate, may or may not be a signed one, yadda yadda, close enough.
Going to go ahead and make this change right away.
TX US 175 realigned around Poynor
TX US 175 Business (Poynor) createdNew divided bypass, new main thru alignment, all they have to do is sign it, I have little reason to believe they won't do so.
In it goes. Nope, reconsidering that. Waiting until signage is confirmed.
Edit: confirmed!
TX US 79 Business (Taylor) deletedI should hold off on this one until confirming that field signage has changed. The relocation of the south end of the route was approved by AASHTO in Spring 2011, but
this sign was still there in Nov 2016
(gone by Feb 2019), and
this one is still there as of Mar 2019.
Similarly, one might think I'd have learned from the KS US40 debacle a few years back, but nope. I jumped the gun on the TX US90 reroute that was approved in Spring 2017. The most recent GMSV imagery shows a full complement of signage along the old route. Most recent signage is Aug 2018, EB at I-10(851). Oh bother. I suppose I should pull a KS US40 and undo the changes until I confirm it's actually signed? Yecch...
Edit: Done.
TX US 62/US 85 realigned in El PasoPrior to this application. US 62/US 85 existed on two separate roads in El Paso near the Mexico border: El Paso Street (one-way) and Stanton Street (two-way): the Texas Transportation Commission approved the removal of US 62/US 85 from the state highway system along El Paso Street from Paisano Street south to 6th Avenue: and that jurisdiction. control and maintenance be transferred to the City of El Paso. The path of US62/US 85 still remains along Stanton Street. which is a two-way roadway.
OK, this one's a head-scratcher. Stanton St, two-way? Uhh, no! Maybe they're referring to just the very beginning of the route on the Good Neighbor bridge, until northbound traffic is looped back south thru the customs facility to Mesa & 9th?
62/85 was removed "along El Paso Street from Paisano Street south to 6th Avenue". All right, but what about the route south of there?
Designation files are no help here, listing the terminus only as a vague "El Paso".
(I have yet to look up what AASHTO says about the end.)In the shapefiles, When a route is on a split alignment, there are three arcs marked as that route: One on the EB or NB roadway itself, one on the WB or SB roadway itself, and another splitting the difference on the "center line", much as we do on TM. This "center line" for 62/85 only goes as far as 6th Ave (see attachment).
(We see a similar line on the
grid map, but continuing one block farther south to 7th. Oh boy, and the
Statewide Planning Map shows it to around 8th...)
Can this be considered, in some regard, the S/W end of the route? Was it just the most reasonable place TXDOT thought they could continue to represent a center line between the 2 alignments/bridges?
In that regard, if we consider 6th to be the "official" S end, then only mentioning decommissioning it that far down makes sense in a way.
It may make most sense to take a wait and see approach, until newer shapefiles, grid maps, and/or signage make things clearer.
Right now, signage at and south of Paisano is rather lacking. No signage at Stanton to direct either route southward. Only an
EAST 62 on EB Paisano. ON NB Santa Fe, there's just a
NORTH 85, and nothing for 62.
Is this even going to change, or remain poorly signed?...
