[edit] New Format

Shouldn't all the new information in the new format be in the highway's article instead? This article should be an easy to read list.

I accidently messed up several times trying to edit this page -- I made a clarification to the section about Business MN-371 & Business MN-23), and accidently posted it at first to the Talk Page, and then I messed up trying to get the update to the article page, but I got it fixed now

[edit] Decommisoned Highways

Are decommissioned highways going to be on this page or do they belong elsewhere? --Sable232 22:40, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

They should be here, but denoted as decommissioned. --Station Attendant 22:57, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Okay, thanks. --Sable232 23:24, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Highway Sheilds

I messed up when I was applying highway shields, however it should all be fixed now.--MNAdam 01:07, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Ah, is that what happens when two people edit an article at the same time? --Sable232 01:11, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Sorry I missed Highway 120--MNAdam 01:25, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Highways that go beyond the state border

It seems like all of the highways that go beyond the border begin or end in or towards another city just over the border. For example, I-94 is listed as beginning in Fargo, ND and ending in Hudson, WI. But as far at the state of Minnesota is concerned, it really begins in Moorhead and ends in Lakeland. I think it would be better form if I-35 began south of Albert Lea instead of towards Mason City, Iowa. Similarly with all other highways ending at the border.DandyDan2007 12:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree, to a point. When I went through and put the termini on a most of the MN articles, I put the locale (usually the township) at the border where the highway actually ends. Where there's a river crossing I put the name of the river (i. e. "ND 54 at the Red River"). I also (usually, IIRC) wrote the nearest Minnesota city into the prose of the article. --Sable232 (talk) 03:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
