Status

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

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

Mailing List

There is a mailing list for discussing US-specific issues. It is a great place to find other US mappers.

Tagging ideas for New York

NOTE: These are only ideas copied from the California page. Please make adjustments here.

I have made adjustments to some of these as the California concepts didn't apply well to the realities of Upstate NY. Probably more tweaking is needed as NYC really is a different beast from the rest of the state. nfgusedautoparts

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

"Not quite a motorway". Some grade level crossings (traffic light controlled or cross streets have stop signs), no direct access by driveways, all sent via side roads and frontage roads.

highway=primary

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

Otherwise, all US Highways. All State Routes with 2 lanes each way.

highway=secondary

In cities, two lanes of traffic each direction. 35 MPH or faster. Medium-high traffic volumes.

In rural areas, all 2 lane State Routes, and some busy county routes.

highway=tertiary

In cities, roads which have traffic lights whenever they cross other major roads (tertiary and up), but are otherwise undistinguished.

Outside of cities, County Routes and roads comparable to County Routes (center lines, white lines to side).

highway=minor

Single traffic lane each direction. 35 MPH or slower.

highway=residential

Single traffic lane each direction, abbuters residential. Usually 30 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.
