Can you elaborate on where the name "Minnesota Freeway" comes from?
-
Comment from Baloo Uriza
Minnesota Freeway comes from Oregon DOT, after Minnesota Avenue.

The reason I ask is that an anonymous user posted a note last year saying that the "Minnesota Freeway" name was wrong. There were a few users that agreed, but not action was taken to change the data prior to closing the note.
I'm poking around on the ODOT site to see if I can find anything:

The ODOT "Moving Ahead" newsletter from September 2006 contains a trivia question (page 6):
"Which portion of the interstate was once known as Minnesota Freeway?"

I can't find the official answers to these trivia questions, but just the question alone would seem to suggest we use "old_name=Minnesota Freeway" instead of "name=Minnesota Freeway"

Probably worth keeping as the name=* for now until we know when it stopped being called that, if ever.

And maybe harass OreDOT for their insufficient signage, a statewide problem.

Traffic reporters and people around here aren't calling it the Minnesota Freeway anymore, just I-5. Worth tossing it into old_name. Minnesota Freeway isn't signed anywhere along that stretch. I could only see that name used in historical records. I have an answer with more detail in the OSM PDX mailing list.

I'll write up a wiki page with the rationale behind the tagging.

That's a pretty recent thing on that then, Roadgeek; I remember KPOJ and KEX would refer to it by name for brevity's sake as recently as 2012 when I was last in the area.
