Is there a news article out saying the the Union City bypass is open yet? If not, this changeset should be reverted till it's officially open.

Or even maybe 'highway=trunk' + 'expressway=yes'?

I don't even think KYTC considers it as a 'controlled-access road'.

I loaded up the official 2022-23 map on their website and looked at the area of KY-3174. They put 3174 in the "Other highways; State Secondary" category. Meaning, they don't even consider it a 'motorway'.

Based on that, I would think 'trunk' is more appropriate. Especially if bicycles are allowed on the road.

However, are there any other KYTC maps that show it as 'controlled-access'? If so, maybe 'highway=trunk' + 'motorroad=yes' would be more appropriate here?

Here's even an official post from KYTC. It can't be I-69 till the earliest @ December 15, 2024, and that's if the FHWA signs off on the upgrades as being acceptable as Interstate standard. https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/KYTC/bulletins/34f19bf

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. FHWA MUST sign off on all Interstates before they are posted, as they need to be up to current Interstate standards. Construction @ Exits 1, 2 & 14 must be completed before KYTC can even talk to the FHWA to even post I-69 between Exits 1 & 21. This is planned for possibly the end of 2024. 'Future Corridor I-69' signage doesn't = "ref=I 69".

than** a true 'motorway'. (Man, do I wish we'd have a small grace time to edit comments here.)

I'm curious, but why do you think 'Corridor Q' here is a 'motorway'? I think it's 'trunk' at the highest, due to it having several at-grade intersections. I think it's more comparable to US-19 in WV along Corridor L, as well as Corridor H (US-48) that a true 'motorway'.

And please use a more descriptive change message. "changed everything listed" isn't a good message, and doesn't help other users to be able to figure out what has been changed easily.

Just so you know, I-69 doesn't go South of Exit 21 yet. FHWA hasn't signed off on it south of there. Thus, it's still the Purchase Parkway till that happens and signage changes.

About time too! Drove past it on Thursday and saw they had finally finished the approaches and the line painter was there ready to paint the new lines.

Out of curiosity, when was VA-80 rerouted from going to the KY line and KY-80?

Hate to break it to you, but Nelson isn't 'primary' either. There's no chance it's higher type road than Babcock, Thompson Run or even Perry Highway (US-19). Especially when there's signage @ McKnight Road that says 'NO THRU TRAFFIC', meaning 0% chance the road is a 'primary' route.

That's why it was originally tagged with 'highway=unclassified' for most of it's distance. It isn't residential, but unclassified is the next tier above residential, as it isn't a tertiary road either.

I've just re-downgraded the road back to it's proper type.

Actually, take that back, the video @ that link shows a NC-417 shield @ the 1:45 mark. So, route number confirmed.

LOL! The road just opened.

Haven't found any pictures yet that prove or disprove the route number, but you can remove the access=no tags at least.
