Status

All of the TIGER (US Census) data has been loaded, but needs lots of cleanup and merging with the previous data.

Since there are multiple governments involved in building/maintaing roads, and there doesn't seem to be usable corrilation of what they call a road to the types used in OpenStreetMap, road types need to be done by judgement. The following guidelines are for urban areas, and are loosend for rural and tighted in dense urban to avoid making everything secondary or larger in an area.

Types of Roads in Vermont

• Limited Access
  • Interstate Highways (i.e. I-89, I-91)
  • Not necessarily divided Highways (i.e. Route 4 Rutland <> N.Y.S, Route 289 (Essex))
• Un/Not Limited Access
  • High-Volume/Fast Moving routes, divided and/or more than two lanes (i.e. Route 7 Burlington <> Shelburne and Rutland, Route 2A near Williston exit)
    • Anything that is more than two lanes but is not limited access most likely falls into this category.
  • Long distance routes connecting to other states and/or primary routes connecting VTs cities, two lanes but possibly busy. (i.e. US 5, 302, two lane sections of Rt. 7, Rt. 4)
  • Longer distance routes within the state (i.e. Route 100, Route 14)
  • Slightly shorter, less busy roads between towns (i.e. Route 110, 113)
    • Still paved, but could potentially be pretty quiet roads.
  • Roads connecting the above and gap roads. Well maintained dirt and/or pavement surface
    • May be narrow enough that cars need to slow or stop to pass.
    • If dirt, can be traveled w/o problem most of the year by most/all vehicles
• Residential roads - Primarily serve traffic ending/originating on that road.
  • Urban(ish) areas, With (most likely with) Sidewalk
    • Usually within a block/grid pattern.
    • Quiet and calm enough that kids may even ride bikes or play basketball in the street.
  • Rural areas, Without (most likely without) Sidewalk
    • These roads either dead end or provide a considerably lower level of service (and lower traffic volume) between two points than a higher level street.
    • May serve agricultural traffic.

Tagging ideas for Vermont

• • • These have just been copied from the California page. We may want to change these designations as we do not have as large of roads in this state.

highway=motorway

Access via on/off ramps with merge lanes, divided road of at least 2 lanes each direction. Called "Freeway". Speed limits generally 55MPH or higher.

highway=trunk

May have cross traffic, but traffic flow on the trunk always has the right of way. Speed limits usually 45 MPH or higher.

highway=primary

Three lanes or more each traffic direction. 35 MPH or faster. Handles large volumes of traffic.

highway=secondary

Two lanes of traffic each direction. 35 MPH or faster. Medium-high traffic volumes.

highway=tertiary

Lower traffic volumes on wide streets, or higher on narrow ones.

highway=minor

Single traffic lane each direction. 35 MPH or slower.

highway=residential

Single traffic lane each direction, abbuters residential. Usually 25 MPH or slower. May have traffic bumps and other "traffic calming" measuers.

If something has a state or federal highway number, it gets classified higher if there is a question.
