What is "weaving"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.184.193.190 (talk • contribs)


 * See cloverleaf interchange - it's the crossing of traffic between the loops. --SPUI (talk) 06:43, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

merge "Collector/distributor" with "Local lane"
I believe that the two articles should be merged since they are similar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.38.206.203 (talk • contribs)


 * I have removed the merge tag, as it's been a year and no one's done anything. Plus, I don't think they're similar, see Talk:Local lane.  If someone would like to replace the merge tag and start a full-on debate on the topic, however, please feel free. -- Northenglish (talk) -- 23:38, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Title: "collector/distributor road"
Is there a better thing to title this? The current title seems a little clunky, but so far I cannot find any other way the name is written, other than with an en-dash (as in: "collector–distributor road"). Thoughts on this? Addition: I am not seeing anything come up on Google as to a distinctive way of writing this. Legal documents say them in many different ways: "collector and distributor road", "collector-distributor road", and "collector/distributor road" are what I usually see. The wording varies across Wikipedia as well, so it seems nothing really says that there's a specific way to write it. With that said, I'll reference the Manual of Style. It says to not use slashes if at all possible, as they do not state how the two terms adjoined by the slash are related. With this in mind, I think the best title for this page is the en-dash version. &mdash;Onore Baka Sama(speak 17:21, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * FWIW, the predominant style on the Federal Highway Administration website (sample) appears to be a hyphen. Mapsax (talk) 04:01, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Source
Likely a good source for this article is the "Green Book", A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (GDHS-5, ISBN 1560512636), but its text is not available online, so I can't add anything right now.
