Pennsylvania Wiki Page Discussion

Nonetheless I-20 is shown (equally) side-by-side with I-59 along this segment and drivers consider that they have remained on I-20. Naming it “I-59 S / I-20 W” would make this clear. When other numbered route are diverted onto the interstate, I agree that you cannot list them all. But two Interstate numbers running together for awhile is fairly common. The highway signs do not distinguish one over the other, e.g., I-70 running along I-76 from Bedford to Breezewood.

As I driver, I like to see the route that I am following in the client app.

I agree that converting them to PA would be wrong. Deleting 100% of them is harmless. If one appears to be correctly located, it is probably a coincidence. I don’t have that script, though. But it certainly seem that the same rule could be applied en masse by someone somewhere.

The problem is, Waze doesn’t have good boundaries for states. That is the genesis of the problem.

I’m afraid if an automated solution is put in place it will delete legitimate roads on the PA/NY border.

We all do, but you are breaking the automation already built into the app.

Even with a buffer zone of 25 miles south of the border, a lot of the state could be cleaned up.
With additional criteria like “not updated since created in 2009”, I suspect that all legitimate roads would be safe.
Real roads that cross the border should have a name and likely have been updated since they were first loaded.

Don’t be so sure. The northern border has been severely neglected.

Should the wiki page be updated to show editor Rank instead of Level?
I’d be glad to do it if everyone thinks it’s ok…

Go ahead…

I can update this tomorrow morning since I worked on the original Wiki

That’s Okay too. :slight_smile:

I like the fact that every is willing to help. This is what the community all about.

Update complete. Level replaced with Rank

Requesting a very small change to our wiki page. Wanted to see feedback.

Current text:

Proposed Change:

I think removing the colon will help with voice cues by not pausing.

Non-numbered exits should not have the colon in them - see Road Naming (USA) in the Waze wiki.

The colon must have been from an older Wiki. I’ll update the PA wiki page to reflect the proper format

Looks like No1uknow beat me to it…lol. Thanks! :slight_smile:

I don’t always remove colons, but when I do, it’s usually painless… :lol:

Since we’re discussing ramps, the wiki is ambiguous:
Ramps
When naming Ramps to state routes, use the SR-111 or the PA-111 formats only.

I’ve been told to keep it consistent and use only the SR-111 format. I think we should decide one way or the other and edit the wiki accordingly. If there is a special exception, then use PA-111.

I have to agree, it should be one or the other. Not PA-xxx & SR-xxx however I have seen some roads on the green signs show PA-xxx

I have confirmed this with Jon. We’ll try to use SR-111 as the standard and match PA-11 when you see them on BGS. I made the following change below:

Yeah, that was my intent, thanks for clarifying.
