The name of the article matches the Ohio State Highway project and is approperiate. No clue as to what you refer to, perhaps you should initate a discussion first. Seicer (talk) 11:15, 18 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Interchanges unclear in RJL

edit

@Mr. Matté: Your recent edits to the RJL (particularly the removal of what you termed the "useless" exit column) have rendered the table quite unclear which junctions are interchanges and which are intersections. Many of the interchanges did not indicate that status in the notes column, with a dash in the exit column the only true indication. I can't tell if you wholesale removed the exit column contents or if you painstakingly double-checked each junction's type against a map or against Ohio DESTAPEs or similar. Therefore, I will try to add interchange details in the notes for each junction row that formerly had an exit dash. (Except probably for I-77 in Marietta, which doesn't appear at first to be an interchange from SR 7's perspective). Thanks so much. :( --Chaswmsday (talk) 20:46, 16 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

The exit column was useless since no exit numbers (the intent of the column) appear for any interchange along the road. While copyediting the whole list recently, I used a combination of the DESTAPE file, the ODOT GIS file I had previously downloaded, and a session of Google Maps to verify the roads/destinations listed. If the rows were between a south/north end of freeway row, it's a given that it's an interchange but for some of the segments that were previously listed as freeways (I think at least two of them), there were some at-grade intersections with other roads so I changed the row from "end of freeway" to "end of expressway." I didn't add the specific description of each type of interchange like you did since I feel that it makes the notes column too clunky and it may lead to the use of neologisms. —Mr. Matté (Talk/Contrib) 01:55, 17 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
