We might consider changing the title of this article to "Classification of roads" or "Road classifications", those being much more common expressions—and more likely search terms for an encyclopedia entry—than "hierarchy of roads". Eric ^talk 03:27, 3 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

In the 1940's I remember country lanes with C and X classification eg C132 / X3016 around the Stoke Poges area in Bucks. When did they stop this numbering ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.15.19 (talk • contribs) 03:11, 13 October 2014‎ (UTC)Reply

"Freeways"

There's no such thing as a "freeway" in Canada. We use the term "Highway" or "autoroute" for top-level roads. — Muckapedia (talk) 30^e nov. 2015 12h24 (−4h) 16:24, 30 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

General section

I have added a lot of content that needs citations, but all of the information is already obtainable from other articles, so at this point we just need to add citations for them, but I can't do that at the moment. More importantly, though, I don't understand how to transclude just the specifications section of the article on collector roads, please help. Right now this page contains the directly copied-and-pasted source code for that section taken from the source page. I'm new to this.

The article seems a bit overloaded this way. Why not just link back to the source articles if the reader wants further detail on a specific subtopic? This way, no transclusions are needed. --Fernando Trebien (talk) 14:09, 18 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
