I'm going to be moving this article back to low-budget freeway, and writing an article specific to RIRO expressways. Bear with me, I'm working on it! Snickerdo 03:42, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Origins?

I'dd love to know the origins of the term. Presumably it stands for something? Do professionals say it as an acronym or abbreviation. Etc... Samaritan 19:29, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

RIRO = right-in, right-out, the article's a bit of a mess - I think it should be moved to that and talk about those interchanges, but it started out as low budget freeway, a neologism, not sure what'll happen, quack --SPUI (talk) 20:01, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reply to SPUI

Whoever created the [[low-budget freeway]] article is a roadgeek who has a sophisticated nomenclature POV about the term freeway. Sometimes, people will consider some divided highway with at-grade intersections a freeway just because it has no traffic lights and a speed of 65mph or more. Sometimes, the features of the highway will use less concrete hence the "low-budger" therefore is not a neologism. --SuperDude 00:57, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Uh, you created it (since moved here). And it is a neologism. --SPUI (talk) 05:46, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Examples

Do we really need that many examples? 203.218.141.99 06:04, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

  • I like to think I'm as roadgeeky as the next, but I must agree with the anon. There are countless RIROs throughout the world: it's a slippery slope to provide them all. I know I have numerous photos of RIROs at work -- I'll see about uploading them to get some photos, with which I will concurrently remove all the RIRO examples (unless anyone can provide some reason why a specific RIRO is notable over any other). --Thisisbossi 03:55, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Needs a better title

This needs a better title - there's no reason for choosing right-in/right-out rather than left-in/left-out as the article name, ideally neither should be used but rather some simple alternative.
