- Capitalization is a stylistic thing, not nearly as cut-and-dried as your text claims. Such a statement is true about anything. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 05:04, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- I'd rather that paragraph wasn't in the article, but I don't care enough to do the deleting myself. It's pretty much devoid of information - it's a kind of truisism, could be said about any phrase.

- Yeah, drop the paragraph per Toiyabe. FWIW, I prefer to think of it as "you and I are people (general), but your name is John (specific)." —Rob (talk) 19:27, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] State
This article doesn't distinguish enough what is meant by state. Countries *are* states (independant ones, often nation-states), so the whole "The usage of the terms "state highway", "state route", etc. may vary from country to country or even from state to state." sentence is rather nonsensical.
Generally a poor introduction to the concept of state highways. A more general term may be useful, that includes all sub-national (or regional) route numbering schemes.

- Ive added a bit on it becuase "state"="country" is the definition used for state highways in New Zealand. BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 23:03, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with such a split and merge - numbered highways designated by sub-national governments? --SPUI (T - C) 14:31, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- Alternately it could just be merged into numbered highway. --SPUI (T - C) 14:45, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Worldwide scope
Worldwild scope could be achieved if this article were split into State highway (U.S.) and a more general state highway article with appropriate disambiguation. Rlquall 21:01, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
