Tagging Guidelines for Georgia

Highway Classification

In 2009, it was proposed that the Highway Functional Classification System maps created by GADOT be utilized so that there be consistent classification of roads across the state.

Further information:United States roads tagging

Key	Value	HFCS Value	Description	Examples
highway	motorway	Rural Interstates Urban Interstates Other Freeways & Expressways	Interstate highways, including loops and spurs; significant portions of US and state routes built to Interstate standards (high-speed, fully access-controlled).	I 75 I 285 GA 400 GA 166/Lakewood Freeway
	trunk	Expressways	Selected U.S. and state routes not built to Interstate standards, but extremely close with only few intersections. High-speed highways, sometimes divided with limited-access. May have occasional traffic lights and unlit street-level crossings.	Fall Line Freeway and US 441 Intersection in Wilkinson County
	primary	Rural Minor Arterial Road Urban Principle Arterials excluding Interstates and Other Freeways & Expressways	Major U.S. and state routes, such as those that link cities and larger towns and other traffic generators, such as major resort areas, that are capable of attracting travel over similarly long distances and form an integrated network providing interstate and intercounty service. These routes have relatively high overall travel speeds and minimum interference to through traffic. In urban areas, these highways serve the major traffic movements connecting central business districts, outlying residential areas, major intercity communities, and major suburban centers. They serve a major portion of the trips entering and leaving the urban area, as well as the majority of the through traffic desiring to bypass the central city.	US 78 in Atlanta GA 166 in western Douglas and eastern Carroll Counties
	secondary	Rural Major Collector Roads Urban Minor Arterial Streets	Other U.S. and state routes, major county and city streets; Serve trips of moderate length at a somewhat lower level of travel mobility than principal arterials (primary highways). Provide access to geographic areas smaller than those served by the higher system. Provide intracommunity continuity but do not penetrate identifiable neighborhoods. In a rural setting, these roads provide service to any county seat not on an arterial route, to the larger towns not directly served by the higher systems, and to other traffic generators of equivalent intracounty importance, such as consolidated schools, shipping points, county parks, important mining and agricultural areas, etc, and link these places with nearby larger towns or cities, or with routes of higher classification. They serve the more important intracounty travel.	10th Street 14th Street Auburn Ave Edgewood Ave, in Atlanta Austell Rd. US 41 in Cobb County Braswell Mountain Rd in north Paulding County
	tertiary	Rural Minor Collector Roads Urban Collector Streets	County, city routes, and other major local roads. These collect traffic from local streets in residential neighborhoods and channels it into the arterial system. Provide both land access service and traffic circulation within commercial areas, industrial areas, and residential neighborhoods. Provide service to remaining smaller rural communities.	Simpson Rd Highland Ave in Atlanta Hog Mountain Rd. in Oconee County
	unclassified	Rural Local Roads	Rural or non residential roads, serve primarily to provide access to adjacent land with little to no value as through routes.
	residential	Urban Local Streets	City/neighborhood streets not qualifying as tertiary or higher, or rural roads which have become lined with houses. Provide direct access to land and to higher road systems. Through traffic usage is discouraged.

Avoid upgrading and downgrading roads over short distances (a few miles) where they may leave and enter an urban area. However, roads can and do change class type as they enter or leave urban and rural areas or intersect with other roads.

Tag what you see the actual speed limit is on the road and not a guess based on the road type. Values are assumed to be in kilometres per hour (km/h) unless units are explicit. E.g. a speed limit of 30 miles per hour should be tagged as "30 mph".

Land Use

Land Use data for Georgia from the USGS Land Use / Land Cover dataset [1] has been uploaded to the OSM server. However, due to its ectremely bad quality, most of it has already been deleted. If you encounter remaining USGS Landuses, feel free to delete them. In metro Atlanta the ARC LandPro08 dataset has replaced the LULC dataset, but it is often outdated and needs fixing.

Data Sources

A number of Potential Datasources exist for Georgia.

County GIS data

GIS data suitable for inclusion

Athens-Clarke County

GIS server Useful:

Glynn County

GIS server Useful:

Storm water drainage ditches
(Housing) Subdivisions, names can be added with place=neighbourhood
Adresses (50k)
Road centrelines Useful to verify names. Includes speed limits on some roads, which can be added to OSM.

Tiger

Most of the road data in Georgia was uploaded through a big Tiger import process in 2007/2008. Because of the very poor quality in places, this also needed a lot of work. Especially rural areas had many alignment issues and non-existing roads, missing bridges etc. Some of these issues may still remain. When you review a road and it is ok, you can remove all tags starting with "tiger:" (except tiger:county=*).

TIGER data is published yearly, in the iD editor it can be displayed under the imagery tab. This can be used to find out the names of roads that were built after the import.

To Do

Trace landuse&buildings
Add POIs like stores
Review and fix roads in rural areas
Classify roads
Fix thousands of errors reported by quality assurance tools [2]
Cleanup imported water data (verify lake outlines, collect named rivers and streams in type=route relations)
