[edit] Franconia Notch

Didn't the FHWA officially recognize the Parkway as part of I-93 in 2004, due to the fact that there would never be a full freeway through the region?

[edit] Tollbooth

It is incorrect to state there are no tolls on the highway as a major toll booth is set up near Exit 11 in New Hampshire. This is refered to as the Hooksett tolls.

[edit] Major Junctions

I noticed that SPUI removed the following from the "Major Junctions" in the Route Box:

I-95 in Woburn, MA
I-495 in Lawrence, MA
NH-101 in Manchester, NH<

The explination given was "remove minor junctions." I am at a loss for how intersections with I-95 or I-495 are not considered major when they are the ring roads around Metro Boston. Also, Route 101 in New Hampshire is the major east-west road in Southern New Hampshire, connecting Porstmouth, Manchester, Keene and all the communities in between. Is there any agreed upon criteria for what constitutes a "major" as opposed to a "minor" junction, or is this just a subjective standard? Assawyer 20:11, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I-95 should go back. The rest is probably minor. We're going with 2dis only except for short interstates. Maybe I-93 fits in there... but definitely I-95 should go back. I-495 maybe, but NH-101- no. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 22:15, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
What facts do you have supporting your position? Again I ask is there a standard for determining what constitues major as opposed to minor junctions? Assawyer 23:02, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
I think either off WP:IH or Template talk:Routeboxint. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 23:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, that answered my questions. I suppose Route 101 would only be added if there was a compelling reason for adding it (as is allowed by the guidelines in WP:IH) since it is a state route. I would argue that it is the premire state route which is not dually signed as an Interstate or US Highway. Though I know others will disagree with including it.

I removed I-95 as we already have the south end at I-95. The junction box is supposed to give a general idea of where the route goes (hence my change of Canton to "near Boston"), not give details that can be given in the article and don't do much to that end. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 08:39, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Per the Interstate Wikiproject. Primary 2di meetings such as 95/93 in Woburn should be on there. It doesn't matter that they meet more then one time. Both meetings should be on there. JohnnyBGood t c 20:27, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
