Your edits to List of named corners of the Snaefell Mountain Course

After my edit, you arrived at the page a couple of hours later; did you get a ping from my edit summary formatting, or was it just via watchlist? Thanks. 82.13.47.210 (talk) 19:00, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

I did get a ping from your edit summary, and that prompted me to take a look at the article. From there, I thought that I could clean up the citations. That's all. Imzadi 1979 → 04:52, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks, I thought you would (couldn't remember the special diff formatting to link directly to the diff), no complaints, but I hate what I describe as 'contrived' citation templates leaving red errors. It's all dependent on whomever has written the templates - ferinstance: image=, static_image=, image-alt= with the variations prompting me to access them when I need to add a parameter.--82.13.47.210 (talk) 17:40, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

us highway editing the list page.

with the list some terminuses are missing routes that are there and signed so should they be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucthedog2 (talk • contribs) 19:48, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

@Lucthedog2: I don't know what you're talking about. You'll need to explain a bit before I can help you. Imzadi 1979 → 05:30, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

ok its with the list of us highways the info boxes some of the terminuses are missing information and some of the lengths of the roads are wrong so should we fix it. And also if a road is singed differently at one end from the other for instance us 9 should it be on us 9's page should it say western terminus or southern terminus.

US-51 After I-39's Southern Terminus In Illinois Is An Arterial Road, Not an Expressway

Hi, Imzadi1979.

It has come to my attention that you are trying to state and keep that U.S. Highway 51 (US-51) after Interstate 39's (I-39) southern terminus in Illinois is an expressway, rather than an arterial road. While that portion of US-51 may look like an expressway (i.e. four lane divided superhighway with an overall traversable median), it is not. It is an arterial road.

An arterial road: (1) is multi-laned—many times, having a median, traversable or not; (2) has at-grade intersections, nearly all of the time; (3) is meant to serve moderately-high volumes and speeds of traffic, depicting a mixture of more thru traffic than local traffic, one-tier down from an expressway/superhighway in the hierarchy of roads; and (4) usually are U.S. highways (like US-51).

An expressways/superhighway: (1) is multi-laned—many times, having a median, traversable or not (which is where you are probably getting confused on); (2) always has interchanges no matter what; (3) is meant to serve the highest volumes and speeds of traffic, depicting thru traffic 99 percent of the time and 1 percent local traffic—making it one-tier above from an arterial road in the hierarchy of roads; and (4) usually are interstates (like I-39).

Simply put: US-51 post-I-39 in Central–Southern Illinois, while having some interchanges in that portion of it, mainly has at-grade intersections—which accurately fits the description of an arterial road, rather than an expressway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Masteria12 (talk • contribs) 05:47, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

@Masteria12: I think you're confusing and conflating the distinction between an expressway and a freeway. Your "expressways/superhighway" definition is that of a freeway, although point 4 in it is a bit of a problem if you look at other states, like Michigan, where we have many freeways that aren't Interstates. An expressway has limited access, not always fully controlled access. So while properties adjacent to a freeway enjoy no right to access the roadway, an expressway may have some property access, but not full access like with an arterial road. Freeways only have interchanges, but expressways can have at-grade intersections. I understand the confusion when some states give their freeways names that use the word expressway even though they are a little different.

Take a look at US 41 north of Howard, Wisconsin. That is a full freeway all the way to Abrams. Northeast of the split with US 141 at Abrams, US 41 is an expressway up to the south side of Oconto. There is cross traffic at at-grade intersections and some limited driveway access to the highway. At the south side of Oconto, there is an interchange for the business loop, and USS 41 bypasses the city on a full freeway. On the bypass there are no intersections at grade and no driveways. Past the interchange at the northern side of Oconto, US 41 resumes as an expressway as before. The situation is repeated along the Peshtigo bypass, and US 41 doesn't become an arterial until it reaches the south side of Marinette where driveway access resumes.

The section of US 51 immediately south of I-39 looks like an expressway per the proper distinction above, at least in that immediate vicinity. Most of the access to the highway is at intersections or interchanges, although there are a few random driveways. That meets the definition of an expressway. Imzadi 1979 → 06:24, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Imzadi1979.

My apologies; I think that there is a regional distinction on what determines an expressway throughout different parts of the United States. Coming from the Northeast, expressways are—95 percent of the time—controlled-access highways, AKA superhighways. (I have always been taught that the word, superhighways, is the umbrella term for all controlled-access highways, which includes beltlines, beltways, bypasses [in most occasions], expressways [as previously mentioned], freeways, parkways [in some occasions], spurs, thruways, turnpikes [in most occasions], and tollways. All of these different types of superhighways have subtle or unique intended usages for guiding traffic.) I acknowledge that these terms and concepts are not universal and are thereby polysemous (i.e., a term that is interchangeable and can coexist in various meanings). Regardless, to paraphrase beforehand, though there is a proper definition of an expressway, such term can be perceived differently, as your/the proper version of expressway is looser than my perception of it due to regional distinctions.

But, what I am getting from your reply is that expressways are arterial roads not situated inside the borders of a town/city/municipality. That is, they are all: (1) multi-laned; (2) serve more thru traffic than local traffic; (3) have moderately-high speeds; (4) have roughly 50 percent-or-less access to the road by other roads and/or properties; (5) used specifically outside the areas of a town/city; and (6) are usually state routes and U.S. highways, in most occasions.

And, yes, I am aware that there are superhighways outside the interstate system.

Lastly, I do want to ask you a question: Coming from my home state of New Jersey, what do you consider NJ Route 33 (NJ-33) from Twin Rivers to Millhurst exactly? An expressway, like US-51 post-I-36's southern terminus? A stroad? An arterial road? Just curious. Let me know. And, thank you for reading all of this. Masteria12 (talk) 00:45, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

@Masteria12: I'm working with the definitions from the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices published by the Federal Highway Administration and codifying various highway signage and design regulations in the US. That's how the articles on freeway and expressway go, and it's the definitions that legally apply in the country. Imzadi 1979 → 05:29, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

That sounds cool! It also sounds like someone that I would be interest in doing as a career!

Also, were you able to check out my question that I asked earlier? Masteria12 (talk) 15:40, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Infobox road

Hello! I have a template request for you from User:LukeWiller. If you look at the Template:Infobox road for Italian roads for example Autostrada A9 (Italy), the last section of it outlines the Highway system-->Roads in Italy
Autostrade
State
Regional
Provincial. After "provincial", "municipal" should be added linking to Municipal road (Italy). Thank you for your help. Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 17:44, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

@Vaselineeeeeeee: that link has been added. Imzadi 1979 → 03:43, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 14:25, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey! One more thing can you link the Roads in Italy in the infobox with Roads in Italy? Thanks! Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 02:09, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

@Vaselineeeeeeee: that link has also been added. Imzadi 1979 → 04:27, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
