Did I say "Way" Boulevard? I meant Ryan Boulevard 🤦‍♂️

Here's where I got the idea that India (or Bharat) "prefers" Hindi over English:
From Wikipedia: "According to Part XVII of the Constitution of India, Hindi in the Devanagari script is the official language of the Union, along with English as an additional official language."
Hindi is native to India, whole English is only used because that was the language of its former colonizers. It isn't unheard of for countries to change its name from a colonial language to a native one, like Swaziland changing its name to eSwatini, or Turkey to Türkiye.

Keep in mind that:
1. This is my first proposal ever, so I'm unfamiliar with its process. There's a section labeled "Examples," and I made these edits specifically for that section
2. As I mention in the proposal, "motorway" is technically not a classification based on importance, like primary and trunk. Instead, "motorway" is a physical characterization.
3. These local classifications are based on a comment I received from Joseph RP about trunk roads and expressways:
"Route 95/11, the 215, and I-15 would be classified as trunk, while Summerlin Parkway, the Airport Connector, and the motorway spur of the [U.S.] 93 Business Loop would all be classified as primary."

Hello, why did you remove highway:motorway tags? This is for a new proposal of tags.

I am well aware of the difference. Many roads have short cul-de-sacs with no name but have the same address as the road they're branching off of, hence why I tagged these as highway=pipestem and addr:street=(road that it branches off of).

A good chunk of this route was named "Old Highway 91," which I moved into ref=US 91 Hist. Of course, it's no Historic Route 66, so maybe ref=US 91 Old (for the ways) and network=US:US:Old (for the relation)? The only problem is that I doubt it has any support or usage, for that matter.

Hello, where did you get information about the extension of Maryland Parkway from Sunridge Heights Parkway to Volunteer Boulevard?

I have fixed those tags now, thanks for reminding me 👍

That sounds like a good idea. I guess this is what happens when the "community" of a particular state only has a few people living in it xD
Also, unrelated, but this is the second time I've been invited to a discussion on an OSM forum.

Okay, I'll go change it back.

The term "Las Vegas Valley" refers to two things: The metropolitan area and the natural feature. The former's boundaries are exactly the same as Clark County's; for the latter, editors like Vespucci will warn me that valleys should not be closed ways. I am currently working to define the natural valley's boundaries by compiling information from different websites. So far, I've mapped the valley's northern and eastern boundaries.

While Ely is not as large as Reno or Las Vegas, it is a city with more population than other populated places in Nevada, like Panaca or Caliente. On a related note, Ely is a stop on US 93 when going from from Las Vegas to Idaho. The only other major stops along said route are Wells and Jackpot, neither of which are served by US 50.
Also, the wiki specifies that "trunk" is for the most important road routes. US 50, being designated a US highway and being divisible by ten, is a major cross-country route that spans multiple states. Even if it has been bypassed by Interstates like I-80, it is still an important road in the United States' road network, and I-80 would be classified as a motorway (freeway) anyway. This alone should make US 50 worthy of being a trunk route, while a one-mile-long US highway (like former US 94 in Florida) would obviously not qualify as a trunk road, even though it is classified as a US Highway.

Alrighty then. So far, I have been using your suggestion of adding bidirectional roads to borders (if they appear to use said roads for their boundaries) while drawing a new way between the carriageways of single-directional roads (like Sahara Avenue), while not snapping them to anything else (other than other borders, LOL).

169312531

Okay, thank you!

169221071

Oh, okay, that's very interesting. I guess the next step would be to align them to roads if possible, but for now, I think I'll them them the way they are right now.

169221071

Oh, okay. Well, it appears that the bulk of this changeset focused on those two issues in particular. This makes me wonder: What's up with those random enclaves anyway? Most of them don't surround anything notable, like national parks, military areas (both of these are government property), or Native American reservations (autonomous). In fact, the largest such enclave just seems to surround a residential area.

Hello, why did you upgrade Durango Drive north of Log Cabin Way and Democracy Drive east of Anthem Highlands Drive to tertiary? These stubs don't connect to anything.
