Can I suggest a reorganisation of this category structure?

• Category:Roads in Australia
  • Category:Australian route shields
  • Category:Roads in New South Wales
  • Category:Roads in Victoria
  • Category:Roads in Western Australia
  • Category:Roads in Queensland
  • Category:Roads in Tasmania
  • Category:Roads in South Australia
  • Category:Roads in Northern Territory
  • Category:Roads in Australian Capital Territories
  • Category:Roads in other Australian jurisdictions
  • Category:Australian freeways
  • Category:Australian highways
  • Category:Australian motorways
  • Category:Australian toll roads
  • Category:Australian major roads
  • Category:Australian tracks
  • Category:Australian city streets

Not many actual pages would be located in this category.

Each jurisdiction will have up to twelve subcategories, eaching being a subcategory of two othe above i.e.

• • • Category:Freeways in Sydney, New South Wales
    • Category:Freeways in rural New South Wales
    • Category:Highways in Sydney, New South Wales
    • Category:Highways in rural New South Wales
    • Category:Motorways in Sydney, New South Wales
    • Category:Motorways in rural New South Wales
    • Category:Toll roads in Sydney, New South Wales
    • Category:Toll roads in rural New South Wales
    • Category:Major roads in Sydney, New South Wales
    • Category:Major roads in rural New South Wales
    • Category:Tracks in rural New South Wales
    • Category:City streets in Sydney, New South Wales

etc

All individual roads/streets/highways/lists etc would fall into one of these categories.

Nice suggestion shouldn't take to long to change existing over. Suggest also these categories with state break down

• • Category:Australian Tunnels
    • Category:Tunnels in New South Wales, etc
  • Category:Australian Bridges
    • Category:Bridges in New South Wales, etc

I think Toll roads should be one branch further down the tree i.e.

• Category:Roads in Australia
  • Category:Roads in New South Wales
    • Category:Motorways in Sydney, New South Wales
      • Category:Toll roads in Sydney, New South Wales

My thoughts Gnangarra 07:31, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

One more point maybe we should also categorised the difference between Rural and Remote/Outback tracks, personally I dont think by any stretch of the imagination could the Canning Stock Route be called a Rural Track Gnangarra 07:51, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I merely chose the word "rural" as a word along the lines of "the rest of Western Australia" etc. Ian peters 09:28, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
