A better strategy on driveways would be to change them to highway=service, service=driveway, access=private, especially in these boonies where driveways may lead to a residence a very long distance from a road. This map is often the first resource for humanitarian resources.

Welcome to OSM! I see this is a large changeset with a short description, curious if you could tell me more about what changed.

While ODOT is indisputably the owner, I believe Sand Island (near I 205) was leased to and operated by the Boy Scouts of America Cascade Pacific Council in 1928, expiring at the earliest in 2027 and presently used as an unimproved campsite Venture and Sea Scout units.

No, I had a braino. Thanks for the fix.

I recommend keeping it at trunk and finding another party familiar with the difference who is in the area. Based on everything you've described, it still sounds like a trunk.

It still appears to meet the definition of an expressway.

Whether or not the road is overbuilt as an expressway is immaterial to the fact that it's an expressway, though.

Or similar situations where it's single carrageway but all the junctions are ramps.

Fully controlled access generally means a complete lack of driveways and at-grade intersections, with access limited only to entry and exit ramps. Partially controlled means there may be some driveways and intersections, but they're relatively sparse, and some may be controlled access junctions (ramps).

That's the first I've seen any planning documents suggest a definition other than what's seen at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-access_road#United_States, which cites http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/HTM/2003r1/part1/part1a.htm as the definition for "expressway" as "a divided highway with partial control of access," and "freeway" as "a divided highway with full control of access."

That's a freeway. Expressways are pretty much anything that fills in the gap between a freeway and the surface classifications. Examples of expressways would things that would otherwise be a freeway but are only single carriageway (no center divider, but controlled access), or aren't fully controlled access (and have the occasional driveway or intersection). It's not uncommon for an expressway to later be developed into a freeway (as is gradually happening to US 75 north of Tulsa and probably sometime by the time I'm old enough to draw SSI will be a freeway), and sometimes they get downgraded to a more traditional highway (as has happened to many former expressway segments of Route 66 after its retirement in order to cut costs maintaining a mothballed route).

It appears to have been deliberately disconnected from most of the grid in gladstone to limit access, and I'm not seeing any (mapped) driveways connecting to it. Looks pretty consistent with most semi-rural expressways in the midwest after looking at the aerials and looks to be consistent with the MUTCD definition of an expressway.

It appears to be limited access. It's not _controlled_ access, but it is limited access.

Expressways and freeways are kind of special cases in US tagging, getting Trunk and Motorway respectively.

Fair enough. I thought the ship was permanently moored, given I haven't seen evidence that it moves at the time I marked it out.

Yes, I believe *_link fills an edge-case gap.

Thank you for spotting a location I incorrectly tagged with a name, but a way that only serves as part of an intersection would be considered a link. As all ways in this location are "residential" and nothing has a frontage to way/262287021, residential_link would be the correct value.

Correct comment for changeset would be "Update on I 35/OK 9 at Norman"

I'm curious what the goal was here and what changed.

This seems like an exceptionally unlikely name for a lot.
