Unsplit Road - Confirm my Work

Post by Spil
Just took a quick look ... everything seems to be pretty good on that segment.

You might want to check the geometry on the segment just west of that one, though ... westbound traffic on Scarborough could cause a Map Problem there eventually, if you don't move it more toward the center of the road (down the median, in this case).

Also, you can remove the junction between that segment and the one to its west (where the split was), since it's no longer needed.

Other than that, the turn restrictions look good. Nice work for your first unsplit!

Thanks :)
There are a few at grade intersections that in my opinion still demand a ramp type connector though. If you look at the intersection I mentioned in this post http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=14501 It is an at-grade intersection, but it is also a transition to a freeway.
Just because you use the connector to go from Saucon Valley to SR-309 on your way to I-78 doesn't give that connector any special significance. BUT the complex signage would push at least some of those connectors to get the ramp treatment just to convey the information on the BGS.

I am not really a fan of non-ramps having anything more than a street name because I think it really clutters the client map.
Do you all think we could you incorporate these few exceptions in the write-up?
If we can come up with a clear statement, I'm all for it. My first stab:

Code: Select all

The only time at-grade connectors should be classified as Ramps is when that segment requires a name corresponding to information on a directional sign due to complex road structure or confusing/contrary signage.
Needs a few examples of course.

I guess that applies to U-Turns as well? If so, I have a lot of U-Turns (mine and IGN, among others) that are Typed as ramps. I will apply this rule going forward and fix what I come across.

(Sorry about hi-jacking the thread) :oops:

At-grade turn connectors are set as ramps. They should be set as lowest road type they connect, which in this case is primary street. Fixed. If you noticed, that was IGN. They have left some lovely unfinished work in my area.
I have never heard of this at-grade turn connector rule. Also, I tend to delete those right turn connectors altogether as I don't see them as being necessary (in most instances). Am I wrong? :?
