MD: Truncating MD 778 to MD 261

[Markkos1992]

I noticed Sunday that I did not see signage for MD 778 going north of MD 261, and the 2019 HLR seems to agree, so I think that MD 778 should be truncated to MD 261 on its north end instead of MD 2.

they also removed a MD 778 north shield from WB MD 261

A couple other label suggestions based on this:

MD 2:  MD778_S>-MD778  (only intersects it once now)
MD 778:  MD2_S>-MD2 (only intersects it once now as well)

I would think that both would eventually end up in yakra's "EXTRANEOUS_LABEL" Datacheck that is being worked on.

Huh?

I stated that because the suffixes for these labels are not needed anymore as MD 2 and MD 778 only intersect once now.

I'm not working on such a datacheck though.

Maybe you're thinking of some other stuff I mentioned a while back that's kind of in the same ballpark, but not this exactly. A little work on EXTRANEOUS_EXIT in datacheck form was done, but it's buggy & partially complete; otherwise these were just done as shell scripts & set aside as ideas for the future.
• EXTRANEOUS_EXIT is for detecting I-95(42) labels that can change to plain I-95 -- parenthetical suffixes rather than underscored.
• UNIQUE_SLASH_SUFFIX only looks at labels with slashes, applying these rules.

A datacheck like this one would, in its simplest form, produce a lot of false positives due to multiplex splits.
For example, ME11 has only one ME4_* label, the other ME4 split being US202/4.
From there, introducing a need to look at HighwaySegment::concurrent lists or Waypoint::colocated lists makes the complexity ramp up pretty fast.

^Yes, yes I was thinking of that.  Everything mushes together in my brain after a while.

Good call. Should have done this in the first place, whiffed on it because truncating MD778 was the last update I made before going to bed last night and I was already fading, clearly.

Handling this locally now, will go live once I get a chance to address all your other remaining comments which should be sometime next week after I get home from this combo business/clinch trip. (Incidentally, I am in Maryland currently!)

Yeah, and I am planning on another Maryland trip Saturday.

For the record, I recommend focusing on Maryland before anything I post further in regard to Arizona.
