usaca: California State Highways

[si404]

While I don't see anything wrong with I-10_W and I-10_E, might I-10(16B) and I-10(93) work?

By the CHM rules, as CA60 is an exit-numbered route, they should be 16B(10) and 93(10). But it's really dealers choice between any of the labelling options.

[si404]

For a route having two distinct exits on its own mainline, it's obnoxious that CalTrans opts to make CA 259 a hidden designation and sign it only as 'To CA 210' northbound, and more obnoxiously, as 'I-215' opposed to 'To I-215' from CA 210.

Shame it doesn't have a name for usasf.

By the CHM rules, as CA60 is an exit-numbered route, they should be 16B(10) and 93(10).

Not quite: while it is an exit-numbered route, those are not exit-numbered points.
With no actual exit-numbers at these points, we instead fall back on "Intersections with visibly numbered highways" here.
Then, it's on to the rule about "If an exit numbered highway is a cross road twice, exit numbers in parentheses can be used to distinguish them."

But it's really dealers choice between any of the labelling options.

There's no "dealer's choice" here -- the manual says to "Choose the first type that applies."

I believe it's the northernmost portion of the San Bernardino Freeway.

I don't think so. The San Bernadino Freeway runs west-east, in the San Bernadino area along part of I-10 which is well south of CA 259. As far as I can tell, 259 has no name (which fits into my "glorified ramps" theory above).

I think even if it had a name, we'd be really straining here to include in usasf a route that is a numbered state highway, which would be in usaca if it had route number markers.

If we were going to stretch anything here, it should be our unsigned routes rule, based on that the route had route number markers about a decade ago, and the route number is shown on callbox signs (assuming that any callboxes remain on that route, since nowadays almost everybody has a cellphone). But CA 259 is just a crummy one mile long, hardly worth the trouble.

I-10(16B) and I-10(93) seconded. (Thirded?)

I'll add this to my queue. Also, Bickendan's suggested point addition to CA 1 in Santa Monica. I think CA 1 in Santa Barbara County needs a relabel for the point called 224 (looks like a fictitious exit number), and the corresponding point on CA 135.

Also, I-215(33) and pals -> 33(215) and pals.

I'm not yet on board for that part, which would need to be applied system-wide and probably to some active routes in California as well. Later.

IIRC, the SBD Freeway runs east-west mostly along I-10 from US 101 to I-215, then north-south along I-215 to at least CA 259. I'll need to verify if CA 259 is part of the SBD on cahighways.org.

I'm looking for CalTrans contact info to inquire about CA 1 '224', CA 60 '76', CA 126 '13', and CA 259. Unlike WSDOT and ODOT, CalTrans doesn't have a general inquiries email address, forcing me to find a contact person in the respective divisions.

Unless you have reason to think CA1(224) and CA60(76) are signed in the field (I don't recall seeing the latter when I was there last summer; my travels didn't take me to CA 1), since they aren't in CalNexus I see no reason to wait on my changes.

Point request for Wheeler Ave on CA 66 in San Dimas, and a synchronization to US 66 Hist Azusa.
Looks like CA 2 along Santa Monica Blvd isn't synced to US 66 Hist Hollywood.

Wheeler Ave. point added to local copy of CA 66, to be pulled in once I've caught up with cansk peer review or I make some other pull request.

I'm doing nothing to synch with historic routes in CA. Someone else can synch them to usaca (and active routes in CA, which I was still working on when the historic routes were rolled out) once I'm finished with usaca. Besides, parts of CA 2 have been relinquished, and might get removed from the HB, so that's another reason not to try to synch with the corresponding historic route.

These are almost all places where I entered or left the route (hence their addition would make my log more accurate).

I'm not developing or maintaining the historic routes in California. That task probably should wait until usaca is activated.

CA88:
[CHJ12] (shouldn't this be CRJ12?)

California has a county highway system (usually signed with blue pentagons), and locally-designated county roads (usually unsigned except with street blades). To avoid confusion, I'm referring to the county highways as CH___, and county roads as Rd___ (which is typically how they're marked). There are still a few CR___ waypoints, which I'm changing to CH___ or Rd___ when I find them.
 

CA193:

...

That was my inclination at first, but OphRd was added back in as a separate point because it's where US40HisAub peels away from CA 193.

Can you show me an example of a route marked "CH x"? "Road x" is not a normal county route system, rather one direction of a grid with "Avenue x" perpendicular.

Here is how one county signs its locally-designated county roads:

No routes are marked "CH x", just as it's rare for Interstate routes to be marked "I-x".  CH- and I- are just abbreviations for the relevant route system. The typical County Highway blue pentagon marker has only the number and the county name:



The county roads that have numbers (most do not, such as in the example you posted), but are not marked with blue pentagons like the ones in the County Signed Route program, don't follow any particular numbering scheme. Some of them are indeed called "Road X" or "Ave Y", as in this example from Madera County (which I photographed only because that county really loves its -half roads/avenues):
