Talk:M8 motorway (Scotland)

message: 1992 Plantation off-ramp demolished to be replaced by M80 Stepps by-pass
I don't know quite what is meant by this, Plantation and the M80 are on opposite sides of Glasgow.

thread_title: Plantation off-ramp

message: I'm a Greenockian myself, so it's satisfying to me to see my town mentioned as the terminus of the most important road in Scotland. However, the article admits that the motorway actually ends a few miles east of Greenock, at Langbank. From then on, it's the A8, not the M8. Is this to be considered an inaccuracy worthy of editing, or just me nit-picking? Nach0king 22:51, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Ends at Greenock? 

message: From the article:
"The Glasgow inner city section was constructed between 1968 and 1972, using a scheme outlined in the Bruce Report, which was published as the Second World War was closing, and which set out a series of initiatives to regenerate the city. The bulk of construction of this section was complete by 1980."
So we have "between 1968 and 1972" and "complete by 1980" ? Which is it. 1972 or 1980? I suspect there should be a sentance inbetween that has been missed out. Can anyone fill in which section was completed by 1980?
:Well spotted. The Glasgow Inner Ring Road was complete (well, the sections that were built) by 1972, and the rest of the motorway was complete by 1980. Clarification has been added. Erath 16:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: This section needs sourced and reveranced better. The current statements like "The central Glasgow section is derided for its poor construction and ugly appearance, elevated above much of the surrounding area on a concrete viaduct," are very POV. While I generally share the viewpoint of the author, it's not suitable for WP's NPOV status. Can anyone provide a referance to backup these statements? Or else suggest an alternative wording?

thread_title:  Criticism section is POV 

message: "and including slip roads that enter and exit in the fast (right-hand) lane" is wrong - as per the highway code there are no "fast" or "slow" lanes on UK motorways - only overtaking lanes and you should always return to the left after overtaking.  A technicality maybe, but surely the article needs to be correct? 161.12.7.4 14:06, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong terminology - "fast lane" 

message: I propose to rename this article to M8 motorway (Great Britain) to fit in with other articles about roads on the GB. C. 22468 (talk) 14:23, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
