| Ideally, a roadway should be continuous with junctions only appearing when other roads or ramps intersect. Unfortunately, when the original Tiger maps were loaded, junctions were placed at every location where two roads appeared to cross. Since an overpass may 'appear' to intersect with a freeway from a two dimensional view a lot of unneeded junctions were added to the map. Generally unnecessary junctions are not harmful, but they are better to be removed if truly unnecessary.
| |
| | |
| ==Are any two-segment junctions ever necessary?==
| |
| Sometimes there are reasons for junctions with only two segments. These include:
| |
| {{:Necessary junctions}}
| |
| | |
| ==Removal justification==
| |
| If any of the above criteria are present, do not remove the junction. Otherwise, the two-segment junction is unnecessary and can be removed.
| |
| | |
| ==Identification on the map==
| |
| The two ends of a segment are highlighted when it is selected in [[WME]]. If each end of that segment does not have at least two other segments connecting to the end, it may be an unnecessary junction. Be sure to review the criteria above before removing it.
| |
| | |
| ==Removal best practices==
| |
| After reviewing the criteria above to be sure the junction is not necessary, when you select the junction in question, if you see the trash can icon in the upper right corner then you can click the trash can to remove the junction. Two other less advisable methods are [[Creating and editing road segments#Bridge_segments|bridging the segments]] and [[Creating and editing road segments#Drag_together|dragging them together]].
| |
| | |
| If the trash can icon does not appear, it means the junction separates two segments that are not identical. Possibly the road, city, or state name is different. It also may indicate one of the connected segments are locked above your editing rank. Last, the segments may have different routing directions, so check them to be sure they are set correctly.
