    Does it? It’s an encyclopedia, not a map.

    Maps don’t give the history of roads (planning, construction, naming) or secondary information like communities served, relative lengths or controversies. There’s plenty encyclopedic information that maps don’t provide.

      Fair point. Most of it is still going to hit a wall on the notability side though, particularly in an encyclopedia with a global scope, where they get compared to the likes of Via Appia, the Avenue of Sphinxes, and others.

      Otherwise, there is still a whole Portal:Roads that isn’t likely to go away.
