Talk:Highway strip

S. Korea
The article doesn't mention S. Korea in the Examples section, yet has a picture of a S. Korean highway strip in the media section...(75.65.220.204 (talk) 18:13, 17 October 2013 (UTC))
 * Have now created a short section on both South Korea and North Korea.Josephus37 (talk) 00:53, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

United States
The article lists the United States as a country that has constructed highways as airstrips, with no citation. This may be related to a common urban legend stating that one out of every five miles of the US Interstate system is designed to be used as a runway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.153.16.219 (talk) 16:34, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I removed the United States from the list based on the answer to question #30 on the Federal Highway Administrations FAQ which states:
 * Is it true that one out of five miles is straight so airplanes can land on the Interstates?
 * No. This is a myth that is so widespread that it is difficult to dispel. Usually, the myth says the requirement came from President Dwight D. Eisenhower or the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. However, no legislation, regulation, or policy has ever imposed such a requirement. Airplanes do sometimes land on Interstates in an emergency, but the highways are not designed for that purpose.

Inclusion?
Since the source is readily available, should there be mention in the article about this? Or is the omission of any info adequate enough? Mapsax (talk) 01:09, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
