Talk:Baltimore–Washington Parkway

message: I changed the link from U.S. Route 1 (Maryland) to U.S. Route 1 because it redirected there anyway. Then changed the link Baltimore-Washington Boulevard to U.S. Route 1 in Maryland because those are the same roads (I hope I'm not wrong.) However, the article on U.S. Route 1 in Maryland needs to indicate that.

message: Perhaps a mention of the "notorious" alteration of the welcome sign at the northern end of the parkway?

replies: text: Wikipedia's greatest feature is that we can add virtually any and/or all information that there is for a given topic.  While I do not believe that this is notable, I wouldn't be against its addition.  Road articles tend to be quite bland -- it's sometimes nice to have some trivia so long as it doesn't clutter the article. --Thisisbossi 04:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Would anyone object if I moved this to Baltimore–Washington Parkway in conformance with WP:MOSDASH? The old hyphenated name would still redirect. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 07:19, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Naming?

message: Why was the B-W parkway sign removed?  Right now, the MD 295 marker in the route box is misleading as it implies that the whole route is designated MD 295.  While that's technically true, A large portion of this route is not signed as such.  Since there is no route marker for the federal B-W Parkway (that I'm aware of), I used a generic road sign to represent the federal portion, done in the style of road signs used along the federal portion for the sake of accuracy.  I don't see why this article is any more misleading with it than it is without it.-Jeff (talk) 17:05, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's misleading to show a sign that's not actually used. --NE2 21:05, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A similar sign is used on the Suitland Parkway, and I'm pretty sure such a sign can also be seen on the B-W parkway (unfortunately this article doesn't have a photo of it).  I know it's not a route marker, but it's the closest thing we have.-Jeff (talk) 01:26, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Road sign

message: I asked for a cite for the parkway starting as US 50 and one was provided (though it is not exactly readable). This leaves 2 questions. (1) what is the road that attaches to DC-295? (2) how, exactly, does US-50 pass over the parkway at 0.330 miles (on structure #16118) if the parkway is US50 at that point? PDBailey (talk) 19:00, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the HLR for Prince George's County, at the Tuxedo Interchange near the DC border, the Baltimore-Washington Parkway heads north as unsigned MD 295, with the road continuing south of US 50 as MD 201 (Kenilworth Avenue) to the DC border, where it becomes DC 295. Meanwhile US 50 runs east-west through the interchange as the John Hanson Highway, becoming New York Avenue at the DC border. (Google Maps is a little misleading as Kenilworth Avenue south of the interchange is not actually MD 295 but MD 201.) Dough4872 (talk) 18:41, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess I'm having a hard time finding that in the reference. Can you cite a page or some text that I can look at? Also, how, exactly, does US-50 pass over the parkway at 0.330 miles (on structure #16118) if the parkway is US50 at that point?PDBailey (talk) 02:02, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you go to page 226 in the Prince George's County HLR, it shows US 50 passing over the parkway at 0.330 miles (on structure #16118). However, if you look at the route name in the top left part of the page, the name for US 50 is the John Hanson Highway. If you go to the previous page, you will see US 50 is called the John Hanson Highway from the DC border. Thus, US 50 is never part of the parkway. Dough4872 (talk) 17:48, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If US-50 is never part of the BWE, then the BWE does not start in the interchange and we agree that MD-295 extends out of DC-295, right? PDBailey (talk) 23:53, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

text: Yeah, I think this is right, look at the AADTs, the BWE definitely is not part of US-50 or the reference is just wrong. PDBailey (talk) 23:57, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
