NC: I-885/US-70 interchange area
« on: May 21, 2025, 02:04:27 am »
Is is just me, or should we change the way that's mapped?

Currently, we have 'Exit 10' @ Carr Road, just to the 'north' of the main I-885/US-70 interchange.  While both routes should have a point there, I think it really should be '10A' with the 'real 10' being at the center point of the big interchange.

10 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.975471&lon=-78.854027

These are both completely separate interchanges, and should be mapped as so IMO.

Plus, the label(s) along I-885 in US-70's file should be *(885) labels, with the true '10' point being 288B, as that's what exit number is posted for it on US-70.

I agree with these changes.

It's worth noting that the only direct ramp between Carr Rd and I-885 is a northbound on-ramp.  There is no direct exit from 885 to Carr Rd...the southbound "exit" is effectively an elongated-diamond from the exit to NC 98.

Agree the 885/70 point should be moved.  Definitely should be a Carr Rd point for US 70 but not convinced a visible point is needed for 885 (maybe as a hidden point to not break the 885/70 concurrency?).  If a visible point is added for 885, though, I would disagree with "10A" for a label as the only exit number for that road is the Exit 288A on westbound US 70.

(EDIT:)  Also noticing that several waypoints on 885 are off-center based on both OSM and ESRI World Imagery.

I have renumbered the '10' point on 885 to 288A(70) and changed US 70 to have this point 288A

I have added a new 10 at the big interchange for 885 and the same for US 70...

A changes entry will be needed because I could not retain 10 as an alt name at Carr Rd for 885...
