[edit] Primary Destinations
Hi there: I've noticed you've been adding Tonbridge et al to the list of Primary Destinations on the A21 and A26 articles. Primary Destinations are actually defined by the Department for Transport (or its predecessors) in the Local Transport Note 1/94. I have made the article List of primary destinations on the United Kingdom road network on the basis of that source, which to my professional knowledge is the only guidance on what constitutes a "Primary Destination". I have no idea why somewhere as important as Tonbridge was omitted, but I can only guess that it is too close to Sevenoaks, which is the confluence of A21/M25/M26 and therefore is more important in terms of route navigation. If however, you are aware of any other official guidance to the contrary, please edit List of primary destinations on the United Kingdom road network and make reference to it. Please note that road signs are often wrong, as many County Engineers themselves are unaware of the official guidance that surrounds Primary Destinations. — MapsMan [ talk | cont ] — 08:52, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back to me: I'm not sure if there's an official definition of what a Primary Destination, but the destinations themselves are prescribed as I've mentioned above. The theory is that they are places traffic will be more likely to need to look for: obviously big cities, but the smaller towns are generally included where they serve some kind of strategic function or at a junction of two major roads, most notably Scotch Corner, Llangurig and Crianlarich, which are all tiny places but at the confluence of two or more trunk/prinicpal routes. There are lots of large towns that people assume to be PDs but are in fact not, e.g. Livingston. I hope that has answered the question: it's a tricky subject because even those who should know about correct signing protocols, i.e. Local Authorities, are themselves incredibly ignorant of the rules and guidelines. — MapsMan [ talk | cont ] — 16:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image on Silverhill, Hastings
Kentem, i've noticed a few times you added an image onto the Silverhill article claiming it to be of the Silverhill depot. I can confirm it is not of the bus depot, I know as I live two minutes around the corner from the place. The image source from which I think you must have got it from here only mentions the bus in the picture was based in Silverhill, it is never mentioned that the image was taken in Silverhill itself. In future if you find someone has reverted anything you've added, please contact them instead of just adding it back in, as this starts editing wars etc...
