Missing pages
We have a page for Bridges
However, Junctions, Tunnels, Crossings (the more specific Causeways and Ferries do have pages) and Service Areas (Motorway Service Area does exist, but isn't quite the same) would all be dead links. There are a couple of others too. Unless someone else would like to tackle these, I will have a look tomorrow.
My mission is to travel every road and visit every town, village and hamlet in the British Isles.
I don't like thinking about how badly I am doing.

Re: Missing pages
So yes, we should have pages which detail things like what a junction is, generically, and list of things should be available in the categories, or by using lists from pages (e.g. how we show junctions etc. by authority, county, and by type etc. The categories themselves should be dynamically populated from templates in many cases.

Re: Missing pages
- "Class III Roads by Council" where it'd link to the main council pages (like the Gloucestershire one) with the map and road listings.
- The main Classified Unnumbered road article
- I've got a list of stats that I've been keeping on a spreadsheet that could be nice to have somewhere (total network length, longest road etc.) maybe on the "Class III Roads by Council" page as a table.
- You could still have the sub-category pages on there if it is useful.
I don't mind helping out on this part of it if I can/am able to

From the SABRE Wiki: Gloucestershire Council %28Class III roads%29 :
[Gloucestershire Council|Gloucestershire County Council]] use "C" prefixes for their Class III roads. The numbering system is shared with South Gloucestershire Council. The council maintains a network of over 1458km (906 miles) of Class III roads - some routes have not been located, this figure is for all roads inclued in the wiki.
The majority of C Roads have one to three digits, apart from urban roads in Cheltenham and Gloucester. These roads are four digits, starting with an 8 in
Re: Missing pages
Yes Please, you must have created twice as many English C road pages as I have for Scotland, so are probably best placed to write an overview pages for them. I can add a Scottish Slant if need be afterwards!ravenbluemoon wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 12:07 I was thinking the same thing, some of the links on the main page aren't great for the casual browser - currently if you click on "Class III Roads" you get the Category which primarily lists the sub-categories for each council, whch isn't really user friendly to delve into. I was thinking it should be redirected to some sort of page where you could have the options...

From the SABRE Wiki: Junctions :
A junction is the meeting-point ot two or more roads. At its most basic, it may be a T-junction without markings, lighting, or signage; at its most complex, a large multi-lane, multi-level, grade-separated junction.
Junctions may have names and/or numbers: see Junction numbers for more information.
This page is intended to give a brief outline of the different types of Junctions found on the British and Irish road network. Please follow the links below to

Re: Missing pages
Cool, I'll start working on a draft over the weekend. I will probably call it "Class III Roads" (at first anyway) so as not to clash with the "Classified Unnumbered" page, which will retain the bulk of the generic information. I've got an idea in my head of how I'd like it, whether or not it'll work in reality is a different matter!rileyrob wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 13:19 Junctions page created. Most of the Junction Types seem to have their own page (some could be expanded substantially), so it is just an overview page, much like Bridges. Please feel free to add to any of these pages if you think something is missing / inaccurate.Yes Please, you must have created twice as many English C road pages as I have for Scotland, so are probably best placed to write an overview pages for them.

Re: Missing pages
One thing that is excellent with the Visual Editor is that tables can be edited a lot more easily than using Wikitext. I was able to work out how to do clever things like collapse tables and merge cells. Might need to check that it looks ok on things like phones.
Rileyrob, feel free to add anything from your knowledge - I managed to calculate the network length for each of your authorities (I think) but by all means correct and add whatever you like!

From the SABRE Wiki: Class III Roads UK :
Classified Unnumbered Road, or Class III road, is a category of road in the United Kingdom, recognised by the Department for Transport. In importance, they are between Classified Numbered roads (also known as Class II or B roads), and Unclassified roads. The road standard can vary wildly, from quiet single lane roads serving small hamlets to multilane dual carriageways serving city suburbs.
For a more detailed description of what a Class III road is, please see the [[Classified

Re: Missing pages
I've had a quick look at this, and I can't see why this new page couldn't be folded into the existing? It contains a lot of useful information, but with some here and some in Classified Unnumbered road, it feels a bit disjointed to me.ravenbluemoon wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 20:15 Ok, so I've made a start on a landing page for Class III Roads. There's probably a bit more that can be added to it, I don't want to add to much about the terminology/legalities as that's already covered in the Classified Unnumbered page.
One great 5* page (and a redirect) I'd suggest is better than two that can't really be more than 3* pages.

Re: Missing pages
I wouldn't have an issue with putting everything into the Classified Unnumbered road page and having that linked from the front page. My attempt was more of a sandbox to see if could transfer my idea from brain to Wiki, I didn't want to ruin any existing pages!Steven wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 20:43 I've had a quick look at this, and I can't see why this new page couldn't be folded into the existing?
