There's no way to tell the actual name formatting from the ref though, each jurisdiction can be slightly different. Refs are essentially useless at this point with route relations too IMO.

So I've changed the name= tags back already from L62E to Rapid City just for reference. There is a stretch actually named Heartland Expressway in Hermosa, but otherwise the road names follow local county guidelines.

Note when I say the routes weren't good I meant that the relations were poor quality, was not discussing the physical routes themselves

Hello! Thanks for adding the public wildlife areas! We've typically been spelling them out instead of using abbreviations (e.g. "Game Production Area" instead of GPA), but otherwise good work!

I don't believe this actually exists, there's nothing out here to watch. If there is one out here I will be very surprised.

I'll clean it up, just as long as someone remembers to change it back this summer

I understand that, it's enough work just making sure the road names are correct around here. You've been doing good work overall, I never would have thought to update those developments to highway=living_street for example.

Are there actual plans to connect the N-66 gap in Louisville? Last time I was there the dead-end spur east of N-50 didn't look like it would ever be used as a state highway again.

So I've posed this to a thread on the OSM US slack (slack.openstreetmap.us), but it looks like stop signs can be mapped without using major/minor roads by putting the highway=stop at the stop line instead of the intersection. Would you be amenable to shifting to that methodology and the re-adjusting the highway classification to the way it was before (roughly)?

That makes sense on Medary, I'm fine with that.
I guess from my perspective I'm looking at creating a cohesive classification network, and the secondary spurs don't really work for that, there doesn't seem to be anything at the end for them to go to and the roads beyond clearly aren't important. How is this for a proposal:

Upgrade W. 16th Ave. S. between W. 8th St. S. and W. 20th St. S. to highway=secondary to link those two spurs.

Change the CR 12 spur (and related county roads) out towards Sinai back to highway=tertiary to align with the rest of the state and their relative importance in the road network.

I changed West 8th South and West 20th South to highway=tertiary to get rid of secondary road spurs, those are generally to be avoided unless there's a good reason

Hello! So we don't get into an edit war here, why did you upgrade several county roads to highway=secondary? We haven't been using HFCS or other government classification systems in SD (they tend to over-classify things and then the map looks silly, I tried it in Spearfish), and generally most county roads are highway=tertiary with some exceptions. Also, I set Medary between 14 and the bypass to highway=primary because it's the "main street" for SDSU running right by the Campanile. Please let me know your thoughts.

Hello! "Future Road" is probably not the actual name of the proposed road here, I've removed the 'name' tag and changed this to highway=proposed
