Split road and at grade connector editor "jollyness" ??
Posted: Fri Feb 07, 2014 10:02 pm
So I keep coming across split roads and at grade connectors in Las Vegas that don't really qualify as defined by wiki. Are we going to standardize our roads or just allow editors to delete what's there and put in their own version based on google arial pictures?
One area manager had problems here :
I have seen splits in Henderson that erased existing roads with traffic history completely to put in completely new split roads that don't need to be split at all.
I see numerous at grade connectors throughout the city that don't meet criteria for doing such. Just because there is a little concrete triangle not even a few feet across doesn't make it a separate connector right?
Maybe I'm a bit too interested in sticking to wiki rules? Idealistic perhaps? I've only been editing for a few months so I don't know the history, but I do know it's not wiki standards.
Maybe if they're reading forums like this one they've already seen this link:

I'm curious if we should have some consensus by area managers and perhaps even consider locking at rank 3 the high traffic areas. What are your thoughts?

EDIT 4/14:
per Waze champs in LV in April,
1) we've eliminated the bowties on the LV strip
2) eliminated unnecessary split roads in Anthem area in Henderson
3) elimated split roads on Lake Mead east of the Henderson Spaghetti Bowl
4) locked all of the above at rank 3
Any desire to work on these roads can PM message me or put it in the USA unlock forum.

He did leave this orphan segment, of course (since he didn't have permission to delete it), which I'd love to connect things to again, if someone could kindly unlock it:
