[edit] I oppose the merge

I oppose the proposed merge of Expressway into this article. See Talk:Expressway. --Coolcaesar 00:53, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose I also oppose this merger. Not all expressways are arterial roads and vice versa. JohnnyBGood t c VIVA! 22:12, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose I oppose this merger. The range in roadway performance and geometric design is far to wide to lump expressway and arterial together. While one could argue that an expressway is a high end arterial, that would be a part of the definition and not a reason to merge the two definitions. Accessman 16:45, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose There is considerable difference between the two road types. While it can be argued that expressways are a subset of the arterial road, the overwhelming majority of arterial roads have no control of access. Accessman says it all. (As it is, arterial road already is broad - there are two distinct types, principal arterial and minor arterial) CrazyC83 02:43, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hmmmmm

I'm not sure biological arteries carry traffic between urban centers. I thought blood and organs were more their stock in trade. 190.41.69.240 (talk) 20:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
