Talk:Gore (road)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This US alternate use of "gore" to mean a place with one inhabitant needs disambiguation. --Wetman 23:41, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

On pages this short, I think it's typical to just leave them merged together. Maybe it should be a little more clear that there's more than one meaning, though. --Twinxor 07:32, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Gore already has a disambiguation page. This is Gore (road), so this alternate meaning is out of place. NickelShoe 19:50, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Is this regional US usage? I'm American, and have never heard the term "gore" used in this way in any of the cities I've lived in, which cover a good portion of the country (Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, and Atlanta). --Delirium 21:05, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

It's more commonly used among "insiders," such as road construction crews, police, traffic engineers, and so on.

• I had the feeling it might have stemmed from Albert Gore, Sr. who I believe was instrumental in helping develop the interstate system in Tennessee, thus why all interstates leading into the state are marked as Albert Gore, Sr. Memorial Highway, IIRC, part of the Eisenhower Interstate System. -- Riffsyphon1024 10:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

• The term 'Gore Point' is used not infrequently by traffic reporters in the Los Angeles area.LorenzoB 17:57, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
