Talk:Southern Expressway, Adelaide

message: The opening sentence designates the Southern Express a freeway, but in the infobox it's called an expressway.  I believe they make the distinction between the two like they do in the U.S., though perhaps, not as strick.  Is is it totally controlled access from end-to-end? The two designations need to be reconciled. --Criticalthinker (talk) 08:01, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: What distinction are you looking for? The road's name is "Southern Expressway". It is a Controlled-access highway. That article says that controlled access highways are often called freeways, expressways or motorways. It currently has traffic light intersections at both ends, but only grade-separated intersections and crossings along its length. --Scott Davis Talk 22:58, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought I was pretty clear.  The terms in the opening paragraph and the infobox should match up.  It's called an "expressway" (small "e" and a particular/distinct kind of road) in the infobox, but is then also called a "freeway" in the second sentence of the article.  This needs uniformity and clarification.  It's a small change.  Anyway, it appears that this is a "freeway" and no a small-e expressway in function.  The latter is type of controlled acess that can have at-grade crossings. --Criticalthinker (talk) 12:24, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you. I doubt most South Australian users of the relevant roads would make that distinction. I think all three SA roads named "Expressway" are technically freeways by that definition. The Port River Expressway flows seamlessly into Salisbury Highway, which would be an "expressway" (left-in/left out at-grade as well as the Port Wakefield Road grade separation) until the traffic lights at Elder Smith Drive. --Scott Davis Talk 04:38, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

message: The distances on the table are clearly incorrect: the final distance (21 km) not only contradicts the reference used by the table (Google maps, which gives 18.5 km) but it also contradicts the official DPTI reference (which also gives 18.5 km). But I don't know how to get Google Maps to give the distances for all the other exits, so I've left it with a "dubious" tag which hopefully someone else can fix.

replies: text: I have adjusted the distances. My technique is to use the "whole trip" URL for the reference, but then move one end of the Google Map journey to each exit and enter the distance from the other end to that exit/intersection. --Scott Davis Talk 03:52, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried that, but obviously I was doing something wrong. Thanks! Adpete (talk) 04:51, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
