Highway 3 in the Municipality of the Crowsnest Pass

ߊ߬ ߟߊߦߟߍ߬ߣߍ߲߬ ߦߋ߫ Mkyleran ߓߟߏ߫ 4 January 2024 ߦߋ߫ English ߟߋ߬ ߘߐ߫

The Municipality of Crowsnest Pass is bounded on the west by the BC/AB boarder and on the east by the municipal district of Pincher Creek.

Alberta Highway 3 passes through this municipality.

My edits in Changeset: 145865015 are as follows.

Change highway=trunk to highway=primary

From the Canada Tagging Guidelines for Primary Roads primary roads are typically 2-lane, undivided, provincial highways. This description is accurate for Highway 3 through the Crowsnest Pass.

See also the Alberta Highway Classification Guidelines

highway=trunk, however, is suggested for “the national highway system”.

Contrary to my change, the National Highway System page on Wikipedia lists Highway 3 as a core road in the national highway system. This may need reversion.

Change to name=20 Avenue and nat_name:en=Crowsnest Highway

Within the Municipality of the Crowsnest Pass, Highway 3 is labelled on street signs as 20 Avenue. This is similar to how Highway 1 is also 16 Avenue through the City of Calgary.

The Canada Tagging Guidelines for Named Major Highways explains that when a named highway also has a street name, tag:name should be used for the street name and tag:nat_name should be used for the highway name.

Changes to maxspeed

I have personally surveyed the speed zone changes.

The Municipality of Crowsnest Pass also posted a map of speed zone changes that took place in 2019

Conflict in Calgary Transit network tag

Creating bus stops

Wikiproject Calgary Transit is a good guide for creating Calgary Transit bus stops. It uses the pre-defined point feature type “Bus Stop” as a template and adds many helpful tags. One such tag is network=Calgary Transit.

However, a pre-defined point feature type named “CT” already exists for Calgary Transit bus stops and sets the network tag differently, as follows.

Tag info
