[edit] Rhode Island counties

Not a big deal, but RI counties are vestigial so I don't think they're really helpful, especially being a small state. The town name by itself is sufficient to unambiguously specify a location in the state. Anyway, if others really like to include counties, I'm not going to object. --Polaron | Talk 14:19, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Route 78 merge

I would like to merge the current articles on Rhode Island Route 78 and Connecticut Route 78 together. Does anybody have objections against doing this? If the merge were to happen, what would be the appropriate title? --Polaron | Talk 18:16, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Although I don't personally like to merge articles like this together, I will support this merge because CT 78 appears to be little more than a connection between CT 2 and the state line. Previous articles like this have been named "Connecticut/Rhode Island Route 78", but since CT 78 is so short (the 0.43 miles given in the article seems generous), I'd just make CT 78 a redirect to RI 78. RI 78 also needs massive cleanup, but that's another issue. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 21:10, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Me too. Go ahead and merge.  V60 VTalk · VDemolitions · VRoads 21:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

The official length in CT includes 0.19 miles of an entrance ramp from Route 2, so technically the route length in CT is more like 0.2 miles. In any case, I've merged the content and added a bit more information on the route. --Polaron | Talk 22:40, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reminder from USRD

In response to a few issues that came up, we are giving a reminder to all state highway wikiprojects and task forces:

  1. Each project needs to remain aware of developments at WT:USRD and subpages to ensure that each project is aware of decisions / discussions that affect that project. It is impossible to notify every single project about every single discussion that may affect it. Therefore, it is the state highway wikiproject's responsiblity to monitor discussions.
  2. If a project does not remain aware of such developments and complains later, then there is most likely nothing USRD can do about it.
  3. USRD, in most to nearly all cases, will not interfere with a properly functioning state highway wikiproject. All projects currently existing are "properly functioning" for the purposes mentioned here. All task forces currently existing are not "properly functioning" (that is why they are task forces). Departments of USRD (for example, MTF, shields, assessment, INNA) may have specific requirements for the state highway wikiprojects, but complaints regarding those need to be taken up with those departments.
  4. However, this is a reminder that USRD standards need to be followed by the state highway wikiprojects, regardless of the age of the wikiproject.
