message: :Image:Highways Agency.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Highways Agency.svg

message: This article has become heavily biased to a Traffic Officer viewpoint - ie the area teams support the Traffic Officers, the RCCs support the Traffic Officers. A reader could easily get the impression that TOs run the HA and everyone else serves them, but this is not correct. Halsteadk (talk) 16:16, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree - however those who work within the RCCs are also Traffic Officers - so technically speaking; the RCC does support the TOs. Samiddon (talk) 18:18, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Today it was announced that Highways England will now be known as National Highways - a minimal rebrand it appears with the logo staying the same. Should this page be renamed or a new one created? Nathan A RF (talk) 18:33, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Moved article. Logo needs updating to reflect new name. Paul W (talk) 11:03, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Why in a case like this do we move immediately (something, incidentally, I support), despite hardly anyone using the term 'National Highways' currently, whereas in the case of something like Czechia, we need to wait until a clear majority of people start saying Czechia rather than Czech Republic?

thread_title:  National Highways move? 

message: We either need to provide WP:RS supporting the claim that National Highways has a role in setting either UK-wide or GB-wide highways standards (and, if the latter, also update the text of the article to reflect this), or remove this claim (which featured in a UK government news release supporting the new name).
On a related note, we should also ensure that we are not parroting a UK government opinion that the use of the word 'national' in the name because of the aforementioned role is objectively right, but be clear that this is a political opinion. Kennethmac2000 (talk) 12:57, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
