TN: James White Parkway

[Jim]

As I continue my hunt for usasf route shields, I noticed that on OSM, it looks like this route is almost or completely concurrent with Tennessee state routes.  Is it necessary to keep in usasf?

If OSM is to be believed, the part of the parkway that isn't concurrent with TN 158 (which is in the HB), is concurrent with TN 71 (which isn't in the HB). If TN 71 was deliberately left out of the HB for whatever reason (such as if it's unsigned), that might justify keeping the parkway in usasf.

TN 71 was signed until 2015, with shields removed from overhead signage. Two TN 71 shields remain on overhead signage. Because of that, I'm inclined to believe that an active effort was made to remove it from the public eye. If we want to be consistent with other states/routes, the parkway should remain in usasf.

Correct, the majority of references to TN 71 have been removed, so there's no TN 71 file. Most of the route south of the river never had any TN 71 signs as far as I can tell.

Sounds like we have what we should, thanks.
