I was referencing the following: "In areas of high population density, to expressways that meet most, but not all, of the requirements for highway=motorway, and provide connectivity between motorways and other trunk roads. These roads should also be tagged expressway=yes" part

Also, from how I see it, the fact that the viaduct allows truck to bypass that segment of 25th Street and connect to and from MIA to Palmetto Expressway makes it extremely important. I could not imagine the traffic that would be generated at peak times if it did not exist. As I previously stated MIA its self can be though of as a highway at peak times due to the traffic it generates on all sides.

As a quick note I never complained about the addition of the expressway=yes tagging, in fact I said that I though that doing so was good.

According to the wiki ( highway=trunk ) a trunk road could also be a road that is almost a highway but does not meet all the criteria necessary to be considered one. From my experience it is just that. The reason I keep going on about throughput is that from my understanding through put is one of the defining characteristics of a highway. And if I remember correctly one of the main reasons this was built was to ease traffic between MIA and Palmetto Expressway (and the surrounding area).

because Krome is a major road and that serves more than just residential and retail areas connecting homestead to northern Miami Dade and the counties north of Dade county while Campbell is just, a road that connects a few retail and residential areas. Though I can see what your saying here so it really doesn't matter all that much in the end.

This road only connects retail, commercial and residential areas, I am doubtful that it is a trunk road.

You seam to misunderstand the immense throughput of cargo that MIA produces, it is a trunk road because the unimaginable amount of cars that end up using it. It is short but mighty. the wiki its self sais that they dont have to be long they just have to provide a connection between trunks and highways which this does in the sence that it connect MIA to a major highway in the area and Doral a major industrial and commercial area. quoting from the wiki "In areas of high population density, to expressways that meet most, but not all, of the requirements for highway=motorway, and provide connectivity between motorways and other trunk roads.". This is a highly dense part of Miami, it is essentially a small highway that just doesn't have enough lanes and throughput to be one; and it near the center of Miami so the are has immense population density

Here I can agree that Krome Avenue can be seen as a trunk road but I do not think that Campbell Drive is a trunk road, being more of a primary or secondary road.

Port Miami has many cruise ships that call it home along with allot of cargo throughput and Port Boulevard is the main road servicing it, the point being that an incredible amount of cars pass through here especially on days when cruises board and set sail. Though I an say that this is all wrong because after the intersection of Port Boulevard and FL 887 it is more of a primary or even something smaller capacity, but the main bridge connecting to mainland Miami Dade is in my opinion a trunk road.

As for Northwest 16th Street I pretty certain that it is tertiary to secondary since it is a smaller road for sued mainly by local employees working in the cargo part of the airport and FEC rails near by and thus would not have all that much traffic go through it.

131898770 almost 3 years ago

I am pretty certain that Northwest 25th Street is a trunk road because from what I can tell it serves the purpose of getting cargo out of MIA (and MIA handles massive amounts of cargo every day) and on to the highways (connecting directly to Palmetto Expressway and thus other highways serving Miami Dade, Broward County and others), this meaning that it handles huge amounts of vehicles per day allowing cargo from MIA to not clog up surrounding roads used by others than cargo comming from MIA; after all some of the areas it bypasses are commercial and retail areas. As a note here, the expressway=yes seams, from what I can tell to be accurate but the rest does not.
the point here being that from what I have read from the wiki this classifies as a trunk road.

ok, thank you for the information, I thought that there might be some relation or something like that that I did not update not knowing about it since I haven't really done anything like this before.
all I did was update the geometry of the coast like in iD an I assumed that is all I needed to do.

131716635 almost 3 years ago

I may have messed something up here I just cant tell what it is because all I did was update the geometry of the coast line and cut a hedge short but in the tiles the water does not update to fill the whole of the area that it should.

I did ask for sources in 130994699 and have since not received any response on the matter from the author of those commits (the Beatles in 3D)

131436164 almost 3 years ago

also looking further into this commit on OSMCHA why did you remove the speed limit from the road

131436164 almost 3 years ago

From what I can tell the name of this road has not recently changed from Northwest 26th Street, can you please provide the source you have for this edit because I doubt that this is real.

131450735 almost 3 years ago

I did not intend to make this this geographically large, I just edited some sidewalks and crossings in Miami, there was a bicycle crossing that was made of two segments so I removed one and extended the other, I did not think that it would make this commit this geographically large.

130994699 almost 3 years ago

can you please provide source for this edit as from imagery it seams that the building this commit adds is fictitious.

the issue is that from what I can tell there are no stop lights for the pedestrian crossings them selves just for the car traffic, and though there are buttons for pedestrians to get an opening to walk there does not seem to be any lights for the pedestrian crossings them selves. I double checked this with mapillary (https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=25.596507&lng=-80.413477&z=17&pKey=2931478883735324). So I thought that leaving it as plain uncontrolled would be wisest until such time as better information is provided since the street side imagery is rather blurry.
