[edit] Explanation of my reversion

There is no single definition of limited-access road. Defining the category to be based on that is misleading, confusing and stupid. --SPUI (T - C) 20:12, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New naming suggestion

"High speed roadways" isn't appropriate as per the 11 July deletion discussion (some rural roads in Texas have higher speed limits than interstates). How about "High-throughput roadways"? It captures the essential feature of these structures and is not biased to particular countries like "Freeways and motorways". --Oldak Quill 21:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

  • That's somewhat neologistic and vague; there are surface roads with more throughput than freeways. As for the supposed bias, a Category:Elevators would include elevators even where they are called lifts. --SPUI (T - C) 22:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
