Talk:Cobb Highway

Crossroads (clockwise from highway)
This information, for either a crossroads or a T junction, is used in a number of articles, but it is of no value if not associated with a direction of travel. Downsize43 (talk) 07:01, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

 * The table in the Major intersections and towns section has, following the column headings, an entry which describes the other roads that intersect with this highway at one of its ends. The heading for this entry is "Crossroads (clockwise from highway)". If one is on the Cobb Highway, facing along the roadway, the direction of the 12 oclock position depends on the direction of travel (or intended travel) For this entry to convey any useful information about the intersecting roads the reader must assume that a road in the 3 oclock position is shown before one in the 9 oclock position, but this has no value if the direction of travel is not stated.

Example First -to my right (approx. 3 oclock) Second - to my left (approx. 9 oclock) Third - to my front (approx. 12 oclock) If this is correct then most of the articles that contain these tables are wrong, including this one. However, as one of the stated tasks of WikiProject Australian Roads is to "Convert existing junction lists to be MOS:RJL compliant" I guess it doesn't really matter. As an aside, having looked at the Kwinana Freeway example I am less than enthused about becoming involved in this task. Downsize43 (talk) 00:35, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that the logical presentation of this information is to take "(clockwise from highway)" to mean: "Having travelled on this highway to this end I have the following options for proceeding further. They are (clockwise from my current position and direction of travel):
