Talk:Lovers' lane

References

I've removed the AFD tag, since the debate was closed as withdrawn by the nominator. Note, however, that the article is still properly tagged as unreferenced. I saw that there's a whole list of refs in the deletion debate, if someone were so inclined as to move them over to the article proper. Once that's done, feel free to remove the unreferenced tag. Thanks. UltraExactZZ ^Said ~ Did 19:47, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Conflicting information

From the article:

"Lovers' lanes" are typically found in cultures built around the automobile . . ."

"Lovers' lanes have existed for centuries..."

Automobiles have not existed "for centuries", so either one of these two statements is incorrect, or else further clarification is needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.253 (talk • contribs)

I've removed the "centuries" sentence as confusing (and the whole red-light connection is unsourced and dubious). Technically, "for centuries" is correct (19th, 20th, 21st) but putting it that way isn't helpful to the reader. Lovers' lanes preceded the automobile. I'm not convinced "typically found in cultures built around the automobile" is correct either, but I need to track down sources that actually examine the phenomena.
