Update Request Lvl 5: Bowling Green, KY

Map Editors Community Update/Unlock Request
1

The whole exit has changed. All of the ramps come together into one traffic light in the middle of the overpass. I would fix it, but am unable to edit since the interstate is locked by a level 5.

Essentially the intersection needs to be completely rebuilt to reflect the changes. There are lots of UR that show the GPS coordinates for the new ramps. The construction has been done for a couple months now.

Unlocked the interstate and the major highway.

Sounds like that interchange is now a SPUI. Here is a page to reference from the wiki.

Shout out with any questions!

Thanks for the reference WeeeZer :slight_smile: That’s exactly what it is. Would it also be possible to unlock the ramps since they are in the wrong positions as well?

5

Unlocked those, too.

So I’ve updated the intersection. I tried to base it off of the GPS coordinates as much as possible. I’m sure that when the satellite images are updated that some of the roads will need a little tweaking but I think that I should be pretty close.

If someone wouldn’t mind taking a look and checking it over, this is the biggest change that I’ve made to the map so far and it would be nice to have a second set of eyes check it over to make sure that I didn’t miss anything or screw up some turns.

Thanks again for unlocking the roads, I should be done with them now.

Also I am not sure why Scottsville Rd is still displaying red. From what I can tell, there shouldn’t be any errors. If someone could educate me on this I would appreciate it!

Looks good so far. I did fix some soft turns (real minor issue).

Can you find and put in the full name for the Exit ramps (right now it just says Exit 22) and remove any spaces from the I-65 segments and on-ramps? (there shouldn’t be a space after the hyphen any more, at one time yes, but not any more)

9

That is Major Highway red and not Ooops red :wink:

10

I’ve locked down the interstate, but I’ll leave the major highway unlocked so that you may tinker with it with the URs and SRs that I’m sure you’re about to get.

11

Fixed

12

That makes much more sense, thanks!

Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out for any new changes :slight_smile:

Also I’ve updated the Exit names to match the road signs so that should be easier to navigate now.

13

Looks very good now. I locked things up. The only change I made was to remove the exit name from the ramps that actually touch Scottsville Rd. Ideally we should name them with what ever road signs are on the ramp, but as no name it will tell you to stay right or left for Scottsville Rd which is the next best action.

14

Awesome, I noticed that there were a couple exit/entrance sections that hadn’t been locked but otherwise it looks great.

When you say road signs on the ramp are you talking about the ramp having a street name? Or the road that the ramp connects to?

15

Yes, the name for the ramps should match any signs. Typically there should be some sort of sign for the ramp split with either city names or the N/S/E/W direction of the highway/road the exit connects to. So taking the exit going north on 65, the left branch may be named “to Bowling Green” and the right branch named “to Scottsville” for example. Or “to US-231 N” and “to US-231 S”. Or “to US-231 N / Bowling Green”. All depending on the real world signs.

Right now, you’ll get:

  • Exit right at Exit 22: blah blah blah
  • Keep right at Scottsville Rd
  • Turn right at Scottsville Rd

But we COULD have something like:

  • Exit right at Exit 22: blah blah blah
  • Keep right at US-231 S / Scottsville
  • Turn right at Scottsville Rd

And the way it WAS would have been:

  • Exit right at Exit 22: blah blah blah
  • Keep right at Exit 22: blah blah blah
  • Turn right at Scottsville Rd
