	== One-way pairs in KML files ==

	How do I represent a one-way pair? Would two paths with names 'eastbound' and 'westbound' work, like I did on ]? --] 22:01, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
	:That's along the lines of what I usually do. If there's more than one one-way pair, I usually specify and name it "Eastbound in (city name)". ]]] 22:24, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
	::You could do what {{user\|TheWombatGuru}} does and make separate lines for EB and WB for the entire route, not just the one-way couplet. –]] 03:04, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

The maps task force asks that all map requests be left on the requests page and not on this page. Your cooperation is appreciated.

I cleaned up the topology of the NHPN data a bit and uploaded a KML file for the entire IHS (view on the Goog). For several reasons I'm not linking to it in the article:

I didn't do much geometry cleanup from the NHPN data, so some Interstates are horribly imprecise (e.g. I-72 west of Jacksonville, IL; I-795 in NC, I-10 at TX exit 294).
There are no objective standards for which future Interstates (suffixed F) I included. I may have also gotten the status of a few recent additions wrong.
Curves are a bit too simplified in areas (due to Misplaced Pages size constraints).
There's also a problem with multipart lines, which doesn't affect display, but creates annoying effects when editing.

However, it is good enough for small-scale mapping (for which you'd probably want to filter out all future routes). --NE2 02:03, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
