[edit] Junctions road names and other errors....

I have had a look at this page and propose to make the following changes....

  • The following roads listed as 'Major Junctions'...
    • B54 - Meander Valley Highway is now knon as the Meander Valley Road and should be named accordingly.
    • A5 - Lake Highway is now know as the Highland Lakes Road and should be named accordingly.
    • B19 - Stoney Rise Road, has access to traffic travelling in a westerly direction only; it's really just an exit road with Give Way signs at the end of it, therefore it is not a proper grade seperated junction and its debatable wheather it should be listed.
    • B19 - Forth Road is not the name of the junction at Turners Beach, it is Turners Beach Road. B19 continues in to Forth Rd about 3km south of the junction.
    • B15 - Castra Road has no junction at all, it is an overpass, and should be removed.
  • The following roads could be added to the Major Junctions in the infobox...
    • B13 - Railton Road at Elizabeth Town.
    • B74 - Port Sorrel Road, the main access road to Devonport Airport.
    • B26 - Mt Hicks Road at Wynyard.
    • B21 - Stanley Hwy; the only road in and out of Stanley.

I dont neccersarlly agree with having every single B road listed as a junction, but it seems that most are, so why not the rest!

  • Other Errors...
    • The National Highway ends at The junction of West Park Grove, Burnie. After this intersection the Bass Hwy continues as A2. The Main text is correct but, the text in the infobox incorrectly states A2 starts at Somerset.
    • The Bass Hwy does not pass through Stanley.
