Okay with me. It was just an idea.kentsmith9 wrote:I wonder if that should be put either on the talk page (once we move this to the live page) and/or here in the forum. (IMO) I don't think the main page for Ferries would be appropriate.nhanway wrote:Also maybe it would be a good idea to add a list of Ferry Experts at the bottom. Editors that have mapped and have a great deal of experience with ferries. Like myself. And include links to there contact information.
I added Ferry to the Road types/USA Wiki. I also linked it to this Ferry Wiki. Take a look.sketch wrote: First, the obvious: the new developments with the "ferry" type, and a note not to use that type yet.
I have changed the wiki to show this:sketch wrote: Next, the obscure: the naming standard. Instead of a slash, we should use a hyphen—the slash will cause a TTS pause, while the hyphen will not. So, ditch "Canal St / Algiers Ferry" in favor of "Canal St - Algiers Ferry". (Of course, if it has only one name, use that.) The latter sounds like the name of a ferry; the former sounds like a street or a ferry. (This is the same reason I do not use a comma between city and state when both are included together on a sign.)
The reason we split the entrances and exits to ferries is so that we could control which direction is tolled. If neither direction is tolled or both directions are tolled then splitting the entrance and exit is not necessary.sketch wrote: Although I'm not sure what sense there is in naming the unloading docks, because if there's no choice to be made (you have to get off the ferry), you will never hear or see that name. In the same vein, I don't know that it's necessary to name the loading dock either, unless you want to include more information than simply the name of the ferry (e.g., where it's going in particular). The ferries here aren't that big and use the same ramp for loading and unloading, so the two-one-way-ramps setup is a bit cumbersome.
