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
