Thanks for clearing that up for me Martin. One of the reasons for my confusion was that EPIC list their postal address as being in Mitchell. Happy to let you revert my change to the Mitchell page, or I could do so if you like? Canberranone (talk) 21:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for cleaning up the information in the article. Looks much better now!! --Chaleyer61 (talk) 03:49, 17 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've just noticed that all of the Highway shields have been removed from the Canberra Roads infrastructure template (among others). Why was this done? There were no errors in them (as far as I could see).

And, while I'm here, I dispute your changes to Kings Highway. This highway does not commence on Canberra Avenue or anywhere else in the ACT. What is your source for your belief that it begins in the ACT? The first use of the 52 shield occurs in Queanbeyan, NSW. The Kings Highway does traverse the ACT through Kowen Forest, but nowhere else. Therefore all the changes you made showing intersections, interchanges etc along Canberra Avenue will need to be removed.

Firstly, with regard to the removal of the Highway shields in Canberra Roads, if you look at the rest of the templates in all other state/territories, route numbers have been ommitted to ensure that the name of the road is of great importance than the route number, and I am simply conforming to it with Canberra's roads.

Here are just a few to see what I mean:

Road infrastucture in Regional New South Wales
Road infrastucture in Victoria

This goes the same for the rest of the country, regarding these templates, and so it only made sense that the Canberra ones were removed also.

Secondly, with regard to the Kings Highway in Canberra, I'm led to believe according to the OzRoads website that the route does exist to the intersection of the Monaro Highway in Fyshwick, and so therefore I'm inclined to believe that the one highway is intended to meet another, unless it is the absolute point of the end of the road. As for the route 52 marker, according not only to WhereIs or even Google maps, I believe that that too goes up to route 23, where that and the alternate route 23 of the Monaro Highway, which bypasses Canberra is where route 52 terminates.

You must realise, that there are plenty of highways, particularly in regional New South Wales and Queensland that seriously lack in on-ground-signage (and most likely having not been replaced in decades due to its remoteness), marking the route marker. Some examples include Silver City Highway, Bruxner Highway and Carnarvon Highway. --Rom rulz424 (talk) 06:22, 11 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
