[edit] Major junctions

I support (and redid) BMetts's edit to include I-64 and I-71. I'm not sure what constitutes a "major junction"; I'd say it's any one- or two-digit interchange, thus excluding spurs and loops like I-265 and I-465 (listed as "auxiliary route" on those routes' pages), and including I-64 and I-71 (listed as "main route" on those routes' pages). In terms of size, it's a pretty big interchange. And in terms of consistency, it's a "major junction" on I-64's and I-71's pages, so it should be here as well. Let's discuss it here instead of waging an edit war. --Peter 21:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll agree they should be added. Interstate 64 carries VPDs exceeding 100,000 in the Louisville metropolitian area, and has connections to major cities, including St. Louis, Lexington, Charleston, Richmond, and the Newport News area. It provides a critical east-west connection. Interstate 71 is a vital connector between Louisville, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland, each with a high metropolitan population.

I would support this on Interstate 65 in Kentucky (when it comes into existence). The only reason we have the 0's and 5's guideline on the main page is to keep the size of the infobox down. It can be argued that any 2di x 2di interchange is major if it's in a large city. —Rob (talk) 16:53, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
