Talk:Highway 6 (Israel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Ecological damage
Proponents do not disagree that the building of the highway damages the environment, but counter with the extensive investment and care in minimizing this inherent damage - what should THAT mean? There is a society called "Citizen for Highway 6" which donates money for these purposes? Or does it mean that the highway owners donate money to the conservation of wild animals? Who performs "extensive investment and care", and to what projects they invest (and how much)? --Urod 20:54, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- Although I agree that some additional info on who these 'proponents' are would be useful, I don't think it's required to understand the sentence. I personally have no idea who donates this money. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 21:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Standards
I made some changes that may be subject to a wider consensus on standards. My understanding was that the appelation "Highway" was reserved for [blue] freeways and "Route" for [red] major roads, with "road" used for 3-digit green and 4-digit brown arteries. I understand that this isn't uniform: the reference to 3 & 7 as routes and 443 as a highway illustrate the exceptions. Cheers, TewfikTalk 03:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- That bothered me for a while as well, there's not really a consensus, and the simple hebrew 'kvish' that descibes highways to four-digit paved roads doesn't describe the importance/size of the road itself. Thanks for fixing it up. --Shuki 20:37, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Speed Limit
Should speed limit be mentioned? As far as I know, even though officially all highways in Israel have a limit of 110km/h, only Highway 6 currently allows this speed (the other highways have a lower posted limit).--EngineeringCat 06:23, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
