Australian Roads WikiProject/Task force
{{collapse|2=Shelve for now|1=Idea: A proposed WikiProject, or perhaps task force of WP:AUS, dedicated to roads and highways in Australia.

A project would address the following problems: Editors who respond to what will be posted at WP:AWNB. Also, the following editors may be interested:
 * Why
 * Many low quality articles (stub and start class), very few high quality articles (FA, A, GA)
 * Current default "standards" cause many WP:MOS violations, which reduce the presentation quality and accessibility of articles.
 * Lack of a collaborative space for Australian road editors. There is nowhere to document standards, list and explain resources (templates etc), monitor progress (ie WP1.0 assessment table), or foster collaboration (or friendly competition) between editors.
 * Who
 * {{User|Nbound}} - ACT roads
 * {{User|Deltomega7}} - QLD, ACT, NSW
 * {{User|Rom rulz424}} - VIC
 * {{User|linkqer}} - SA, WP:HWY/O, but not much recent road related activity
 * {{User|Advanstra}} - QLD, WP:HWY/O
 * {{User|Wiki ian}} - TAS, WP:HWY/O
 * {{User|Lakeyboy}} - VIC
 * How
 * Finish this brainstorm with more detailed / solid proposals
 * Post message at WP:AWNB, see if anyone else is interested
 * Take it from there.
 * Other stuff
 * Would be a child of WP:AUS and WP:HWY
 * Potential shortcuts: WP:AURD, WP:OZROAD, WP:OZRD

Talk page question for Rschen7754
Hi Rschen7754. I have been thinking about setting up a wikiproject (or possibly task force) for Australian roads, and was wondering if you (or any of your talk page stalkers) have any advice? I think my next step should probably be to post a message on WP:Australian Wikipedians' notice board and see if other Australian roads editors would actually be interested in such a project. - ~ }}

Hi ,
 * Subject: WikiProject Australian Roads

I notice that you have edited Australian road articles (in the past) (and are a member of WikiProject Highway's Oceania Task Force. I have recently started up a new project for Australian roads, with the goal of improving Wikipedia's coverage of Australian roads – currently the vast majority of articles are stub or start class. The project pages are located at WikiProject Australian Roads, if you want to take a moment to look around, and join up if you're interested. Thanks,

Highways in Western Australia
Highways and other major roads in Western Australia can be described in terms of three overlapping systems.

Road routes
Numbered road routes connect major centres within Perth, Western Australia, and across the state's border. These routes can follow multiple roads, and some route concurrencies exist.

Legislation
In legislation, a highway is a road that has been proclaimed as such under the Main Roads Act 1930. These highways designations are only used internally within Main Roads Western Australia, and the roads these highways follow may have different names.

Named highways
Named highways do not necessarily correspond to road routes or procliamed highways.

Outback tracks
As the outback covers most of Western Australia, tracks provide vital links to remote communities and settlements. It must be emphasised that these tracks are unsealed, remote and in many cases pass through restricted areas. They should only be negotiated by experienced drivers.
