Road Type experiment - Edmonton & Calgary
Hi all,
Given the success the US community is having with redefining major/minor highways and such, I'm going to be doing some experimentation with the Edmonton area to see what happens when we do something similar.
I'm not sure if it will be possible to codify the changes (in the US, they have a federally mandated classification system), but we'll see what we can do.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
As a start, I'm going to be working primarily inside the Anthony Henday ring road. If a street is a numbered highway, it will be either a Major Highway or Freeway.
If it is not, it may be upgrade from Primary Street to Minor Highway, depending on what it does.
We may also be upgrading some basic streets to primary streets.
EDIT: this has been expanded to Calgary now, too.
