=For Talk:Mount Cotton Road=

What is included?
The following sections of road may be involved:

Section 1. The west to east road from Mount Gravatt-Capalaba Road to the roundabout intersection with Section 2 (Intersection A)

Section 2, The north to south road from Redland Bay Road to Intersection A

Definitions of the road
1. This article defines the road as Sections 1, 3 and 4 in the text and Infobox, but shows Sections 2,3 and 4 in the RJL.

2. TMR defines the road as Section 2 (not a state-controlled road) and Section 4, with Section 1 being part of Redland Sub-Arterial Road (also named Mount Cotton Road) and Section 3 being part of Redland Bay Road.

3. Google Maps shows Section 1 as mostly undefined, with the eastern end named Broadwater Road, and Sections 2, 3 and 4 all named Mount Cotton Road.

4. Open Street Map shows all four Sections as named Mount Cotton Road.

5. Most (maybe all) published street directories show all four as Mount Cotton Road.

Proposed solution
1. Update the article to describe the road as Section 2, then duplexed with Section 3, followed by Section 4.

2. Add a note re the dual naming of Section 1.

3. Add a para re Redland Sub-Arterial Road.

4. Add a para re Redland Bay Road.

Redland Sub-Arterial Road
Redland Sub-Arterial Road starts at an intersection with Logan Road in. It runs north-east as Mount Gravatt-Capalaba Road, crossing Newnham Road and passing under the Gateway Motorway. It continues east, passing Grieve Road and reaching an intersection where Mount Gravatt-Capalaba Road turns north-east and Redland Sub-Arterial Road curves to the south-east. It continues south-east and east as Mount Cotton Road. When it reaches Tingalpa Creek on the eastern boundary of it changes to Redland Bay Road but continues as Mount Cotton Road.

Redland Bay Road
Redland Bay Road starts at Tingalpa Creek and continues east as Mount Cotton Road. It is joined by the northern section of Mount Cotton Road and continues south-east under that name. When it reaches an intersection with Lyndon Road in, Mount Cotton Road turns south while Redland Bay Road continues east as Duncan Road.
