[edit] List of Old Road Routes in Melb/Victoria

Don't hesitate to ask me if you need anymore route shields. I would prefer that I do them all as I have set them up in the Wikimedia Commons, completely With Templates/Categories & In Full SVG Format. Just let me know what you want and I'll fire them up ASAP. - Boochan 14:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Heh, cheers for that - I see you noticed my unsteady attempt at the old National 8 route sign as well. At this time the only Melbourne routes that need doing is 11-49, so if there's any gaps between that run (as Melbourne uses all of them), they'll need to be filled in if you could be so kind. I'll eventually go on to do rural Victoria (routes 100-199) later on down the track, but I'll let you know what I need, and then I'll eventually go on and cover the entirety of Victoria's M-A-B-C routes (but I need to gather more data first). Thanks again! Lordstorm 17:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, could I also request a Tourist Route 2 shield as well? Cheers! Lordstorm 17:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, Forgot about the page yesterday. I made a Tourist Route 2 Shield Just then - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Australian_Tourist_Route_2.svg - Boochan 16:57, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] road in foboxes

Just looking at the infoboxes you put on Cross Road and Anzac Highway. Do you think the infobox needs the "suburbs along road" property? That is well-handled in the articles already. Also, there are a LOT of suburbs along some of the bigger roads like Anzac Highway. Do you think it'd seem clunky? — Donama 03:21, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, actually there were none at all listed in Anzac Highway. As for Cross Road, Adelaide, the same template is used for all roads with the infobox. Granted, for short roads in built-up suburbs this may be somewhat repetitive - and in the case of Cross Road, I didn't include many for this reason, the article already lists these - but there's only so much you can put in an infobox (it is, of course, for quick facts and info) without it looking unsightly. Naturally, I tend to put more important or larger or strategic suburbs (hence my inclusion of Plympton and Morphetville), but users are of course are free to add more suburbs they feel are probably more important. This may sound, er, somewhat anal, but when dealing with larger roads (eg: Gregory Highway, Pacific Highway, Stuart Highway) major towns can clock up rather quickly.
