US Highways should not be tagged with CA routeboxes as they are not single state highways.Gateman1997 01:28, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

I completely agree. -- hike395 04:39, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

I would disagree with that... the routebox looked fine (I went back into the history). If we ever start a WP for Oregon then they can just add a routebox for Oregon as well (I started one for Washington the other day). Or a multi-state routebox would be fine but I believe some routebox has to be added because otherwise the browse sections don't work (there is no way to get from CASR 199 to 200 for example.) But this should be discussed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject California State Highways. --Rschen7754

I think it would be better with multistate roads to develop a completely new multistate routebox. It could be used for all primary roads (ie: Primary Interstates and all US Highways).Gateman1997 17:37, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Legal Definition

I'm sorry, but all of the Legal Definition stuff looks dreadful. What possible purpose does it serve? This here is an Encyclopedia. This stuff is not encyclopedic.
