Dubious sources[edit]

@Johnragla: can you explain your sources a bit better, these are incredibly confusing and do not accurately describe how relevant they are to the state highway. The dubious flags were there for you to address this. Ajf773 (talk) 09:44, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Taking the references in the order they appear in the history section -

https://www.nzta.govt.nz/assets/resources/state-highway-traffic-volumes/docs/SHTV-1991.pdf shows on page 9 Traffic volumes 1991 as including 15km of Pukekohe S.

http://www.topomap.co.nz/NZTopoMap?v=2&ll=-37.685586,174.978647&z=14&pin=1&lbl=Highway%252022 shows the current name of Highway 22 for a large part of the road.

https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NZH19371201.2.33 shows that the Te Uku to Waingaro road had just been metalled in 1937.

https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/WT19440715.2.63 shows that in 1944 the Great Western Highway was expected to become an Auckland to New Plymouth trunk road.

Raglan County Hills and Sea 1876–1976 says, "A start was made on upgrading the "central route" from Tuakau Bridge to Te Uku in the early ‘60s. 5/6ths of the cost, which in 1961 totalled £75,000, was paid by the National Roads Board, the remaining sixth was raised by the county. In July, 1963, the great western highway was gazetted State Highway 22."

http://www.mapspast.org.nz/?zoom=13&x=1773477&y=5815349&layerid=NZMS1%201979 shows the geographic extent of that designation as extending to SH23.

https://www.rbnz.govt.nz/monetary-policy/inflation-calculator shows the 2017 equivalent. It could be updated to 2021.

Does that explain the sources a bit better? Johnragla (talk) 10:14, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ps here's another source indicating that 22 April 1963 is the correct date, rather than July 1963 - THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 2 May 1963 Johnragla (talk) 11:23, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, can you rephrase the paragraph showing the link between current and former sections of the the state highway? I'm not sure the map references are necessary as the other links are sufficient. Ajf773 (talk) 09:16, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I thought "SH 22 used to cover a much longer route" showed the link between current and former sections. What else have you got in mind? The map references are an easy way to see what is otherwise, as you described it, incredibly confusing. Johnragla (talk) 09:45, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
