I’ve now finished up most of the FC around Evansville, but I’ve run out of editable area and can’t finish the whole county.
Terre Haute is done as well, but as with Evansville, I was only able to do the city itself and not much of the surrounding county.
I have some editing rights to Evansville / Vanderburgh County. When I get back from Turks & Caicos I will check the FC Map and see what I can do.
Well, Metro Louisville (Indiana portion) has now been updated. Hopefully the routing sticks to more primary roads now and doesn’t take me down residential streets anymore.
Let me know if you need any help with that. I can edit most of Evansville as well.
hey guys, I found another link on the indot website that shows exactly the same thing the PDF format shows. This is only in map form and seems much easier to view when you are working with a large area. Please let me know what you think about using this for updating roads. https://gis.in.gov/apps/DOT/RoadwayInventory/
I’ve been out of the loop for some time now (I lost my AM status some time ago for lack of activity), but was reading through the thread and the updates, and I’m not quite sure I understand the relation between county roads, “minor arterials”, and “primary streets”. Take the following area in St. Joseph/Elkhart counties: https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-86.08338&lat=41.67665&layers=941&zoom=2
Many of these county roads are marked as “Minor Highway” for part or all of their path. Many others are marked as “street”. If I’m interpreting the chart found here correctly, the vast majority of these roads should be standardized on “Primary Street”. Two specific examples: Ash Rd (N/S county line road partially classified as “Minor Highway”) and Douglas Rd (E/W road partially classified as “Street”)…both of these, if I’m reading correctly, should be “Primary Street”. Additionally, the non-neighborhood county roads should also be upgraded (Beech, Buckeye, Birch, Apple, etc.) or downgraded (Cleveland, Bittersweet, Indiana, etc.) to “Primary Street”. Am I reading through all this correctly?
This is listed on the indot webpage https://gis.in.gov/apps/DOT/RoadwayInventory/ as a minor arterial which would therefore make it a Minor Hwy since it is a County Hwy per https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Road_types/USA#Quick_reference_chart Ash Rd North of Edison changes to a major collector which would make it a primary street
And following these same guidelines Douglas Rd should be Primary Street from Fir to Ash; Minor Hwy from Fir to Ironwood; and Primary Street from Ironwood to Michigan St/Dixie Way
