FC change proposal for state spurs
I've analyzed some state spurs over the last couple of weeks, and I have an FC change proposal:
Rural Major Collector / Spur increase from PS to mH.
Reasoning is that the state parks I'm seeing have a preferred route (the spur), but also have other national major collectors that connect up to them. The State (not national) FC maps also have the spurs as a major arterial, whereas the other connecting roads are "other arterial".
Without the change, other than time/distance, the Spur has equivalency to some fairly minor roads. The spurs are also paved (at least all that I've evaluated), whereas the other collectors are often gravel. I would hope that differentiating the spurs with the Type increase would improve their selection for long-distance routing (which is what most people routing to a park would be doing: long distance).
