Wouldn't it be better to title this article U.S. Route 1-9 (with a hyphen) instead of with a slash, since that's how it's signed? What was the rationale behind choosing a slash? -- Northenglish (talk) -- 22:41, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Here's my chat on this issue with SPUI
Great idea to create an article for the U.S. Route 1/9 concurrency. Might it make more sense to name the article separating the 1 and the 9 with either a dash or an ampersand, rather than a slash? I always sound out the name of the concurrency as "1 and 9" (or more accurately "1 'n 9"), which may correspond better to the ampersand. From my informal review of signs, it seems that 1-9 appears much more often than 1&9, but I don't recall seeing 1/9 anywhere. Any thoughts???? Alansohn 21:11, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- I considered this when I made it (and I think I made all the redirects). Signs typically say 1-9 or 1&9 but NJDOT tends to use 1/9 on their website. --SPUI (T - C) 21:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks for the explanation re state usage of 1/9. I saw that you had created redirects for just about every possible combination and permutation of US/U.S., Route/Highway and the numbers 1 and 9. You'd be hard pressed to guess a link that won't work, but the 1/9 may be the least likely to be guessed. Alansohn 21:16, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, I found that discussion shortly after I posted my comment here, but didn't have time to repost.
I still think that using a dash would be better, since the signs are also posted by NJDOT (I believe), and the signs are a better indication of what the public's common usage would be, but as long as there's a redirect, the choice of punctuation doesn't matter enough to me. -- Northenglish (talk) -- 01:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Does Route 1&9 intersect with Route 1/9 and if so, would it be major at Route 1 & 9 and so is it applyable on the Route 1/9 info box?

Get rid of that last question
Does Route 21 intersect with Route 1/9 and if it does is, is it acceptable on the Route 1/9 info box
[edit] U.S. Route and Route 18
Where Route 9 and Route 18 cross is that Marlboro or Old Bridge?

- It's Old Bridge, it's just across the Monmouth-Middlesex county line. Just to warn you, the other junctions you added are going to be removed. I'm not going to do it yet, though, because the whole list needs work since I wrote it when US 1 and 9 were the same article. -- NORTH talk 04:45, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Fine, I'll get rid of them, I guess I'm not needed. Nextbarker 05:43, 10 December 2006 (UTC)nextbarker
[edit] U.S. 9 info box back to normal
Ok, shields I made in the infobox is gone, ok maybe Route 34 isn't big, but the GSP in Sayreville, certinaly is, and so is Route 33 in Freehold, but all gone, good luck to you bye. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nextbarker (talk • contribs) 05:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC).
Sorry, I'd think NJ 33 would be major in Freehold at Route 9, and the Parkway is certainly major in Sayreville.
Nextbarker 19:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)nextbarker
- I agree with you on NJ 33, but the problem is that there are too many junctions to list, especially now that junctions north of Woodbridge have to be added back now that the US 1 & 9 articles are split.
- The GSP junction at Exit 123 is not major since the other junction just north of there is already listed. -- NORTH talk 19:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
But I think of Parkway gets more heavily used then US Route 9 it's more jammed by exit 123 then in Woodbridge despite the NJTP or 440 or US 9.
And couldn't we add one more junction to the major junction box, cause Route 9 has a looooooot of major intersections in NJ? Nextbarker 03:15, 11 December 2006 (UTC)nextbarker
And how is U.S. Route 9 major by Route 18 there's only one direct entrance southbound to Route 18 from US 9 South unless you count, Spring Valley Road to Route 18 North major, and there's only one northbound entrance to Route 18 on the northbound side of 9.
Nextbarker 03:17, 11 December 2006 (UTC)nextbarker
- Actually, in my experience, very few people use Exit 123, since they can just use US 9 to get from 123 to 129 without tolls, US 9 is mostly limited access through there, and the Edison Bridge has just been reconstructed (and was done before the Driscoll Bridge). Most of the backups on the parkway through there are for the toll plaza and the express/local split/merge.
- You seem to be contradicting yourself a lot. How could Exit 123 be major by your logic, when you can only get from the Parkway southbound to US 9 southbound, or 9 north to Parkway north? Like I said at Talk:New Jersey Route 18, the completeness doesn't matter much, but I'm baffled as to what your thinking sometimes. You've threatened to leave at least twice, but you've come back every time asking the same exact questions.
- I'm not suggesting you leave (I don't care whether you do or not). What I am suggesting you do is read the guidelines I've given you on your talk page, and perhaps also the discussion on WT:NJSCR they came from.
- No, we can't extend the junction list just because there are "a lot" of junctions, just like we can't add all the semi-major junctions to Interstate 80, or Garden State Parkway for that matter. That's why we have the guideline. -- NORTH talk 05:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thats's what exit lists are for... --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 05:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
