- Wikipedia talk:Notability (Transportation) states the below points and I refer to the point higlighted green:
Streets/Roads
[edit]The following types of streets and roads, numbered or not, would have inherent notability
- A limited-access highway
- A non-limited access highway that is the main route connecting two or more cities or towns
- A non-limited access highway that backs up a limited access highway connecting two or more cities or towns, and is used by motorists for that purpose
- A large commercial boulevard
- A major street in the center of a large city
- The main street or road in a town or suburb that is above all the rest
- A street or road that plays a role in popular culture (such as being featured in a movie)
In the case of the B1436 Road this backs up the limitations placed on the A140 and the A148/A149 by the one way system that operates in Cromer
- If you have to resort to splitting hairs, then you're doing it wrong. "Useful diversion" is not notable, as it does not separate this road from thousands of other "useful diversions". 217.36.107.9 (talk) 11:20, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well, you say it isn't notable, so providing a link to a (proposed) policy/guideline which implies that it is notable seems constructive. Please attack the argument and not the editor. He is saying that it is "A non-limited access highway that backs up a limited access highway connecting two or more cities or towns, and is used by motorists for that purpose" (as well as a useful diversion) and therefore notable.

- The proposed guideline says "Roads are notable if they have been analyzed and discussed in multiple independent sources, discussing things such as their impact on a region." The selection posted above is not from the guideline, but from another user's comment on the talk page, and is incorrect. 217.36.107.9 (talk) 08:38, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Notability
[edit]I have found this road was a major though fare on fadens map and that it was once part of the main route between Cromer and Norwich before the road from Roughton to Northrepps was designated the main road(A140). These are two points that add to the notability of this road despite the opinion of Jenuk1985. I have removed his tag once more because I disagree that this road has no notability. Like many roads in the UK most references to roads are maps. This does not make them any less use as a source of reference or as a reference to a roads notability. stavros1 ♣ 17:22, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
