Level 5: Somerville, MA

Map Editors Community United States US Unlock And Update Requests
1

This is in Somerville, MA, McGrath Highway.

A couple UR’s from this area due to discrepencies between TTS and signage.

Requesting a temporary reduction of lock from 5->3 for these segments, in order to create wayfinder segments to match the BGS.

2

Go ahead and please let me know when you are done.

Thanks - I believe this is all set.

One note, I deviated slightly from the wayfinder guidance wiki in naming this stub “Route 28 N / McGrath Hwy / to Malden” instead of “Route 28 N / to Malden” (BGS) because at least three reporters suggested that McGrath Hwy should be mentioned since you’re staying on that road and it’s what shows up as the road on the waze app. I drive this weekly and would also agree.

If you’re okay with all, please relock to 5!

Thanks.

few minor issues:

  • New segment you created it is too short. Anything less than 5M may cause routing issues.
  • With the new FC changes, we should update the naming match US guidelines: “SR-28” instead of “Route 28”
  • “Route 28 N / McGrath Hwy / to Malden” is not good. Try to be consistent and try to match the BGS or don’t put it at all.

  1. Sorry that stub started at 5M. I must of inadvertently gone down to 4m when I adjusted the angle! Fixed.

  2. Okay, highway names changed to SR-XX. There will of course be some discrepancies between all of the rest of McGrath Hwy. However there is still some ambiguity with regards to the wiki page that says to use MA-XX and the linked forum thread which left things in the air. Should I leave at SR-XX or change to MA-XX?

  3. Okay McGrath removed. Matches BGS.

MA-XX is better for now. Thanks.

Okay those are all set as well, SR changed to MA.
