Rt. 40 - Pulaski Hwy

Post by Mjestic
Hey guys,

I'm wondering why Pulaski Hwy is not marked as a Major Highway instead of minor. Is it for routing purposes?

I can go either way, but I'm not sure if what else in Cecil County would be major. The MD SHA switches its classification back and forth between principal artery and minor artery, at least in Cecil County.
Yeah most of the run through Cecil county is a barren wasteland where I may or may not exceed the posted speed limit by a large margin ;)

I'm fine with changing this all to Major Hwy. Looks like Russblau and a couple others already jumped the gun and got started on it :) I'll take care of everything I can from Havre de Grace through to the US-13 merge in DE, and put in update requests for any locked segments I can't touch.

Gotcha. I would think that it should be considered a Minor Highway until it leaves the city limits and heads into baltimore county. Both on the east and west ends. Especially since there's nothing special about using Rt. 40 routing-wise. It's just as slow as any other street in the city. However, on the east side, once you pass Moravia Park drive it seems more like a Major Highway.

As a matter of fact, I think from E Monument st, Eastward, it should be classified as Major and westward should be downgraded to Minor until it turns into Baltimore Nat'l Pike. There, it should return to Major

Considering the fact that it's a US Route, extends beyond multiple states, and is often used as a freeway alternative, I think it's safe to classify it as Major beyond the inner city.

Yes. Please unlock it from:
E Monument St, Baltimore
to
Blenheim Farm Ln, Havre de Grace, Maryland (the edge of my area)

It looks like it can be changed to "Major" all the way to S Dupont Hwy in Deleware. S Dupont Hwy is also classified as a Major Highway

Considering the fact that Rt.40 is used as an alternate route to i-95 I find that it should absolutely be classified as major. Once it gets up to Havre De Grace I'm not familiar with its efficiency so I can't speak on that. However, from Baltimore to Harford County it should absolutely be Major.
