KML for Interstate Highway System

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)
