I believe that the articles of Local lane and Collector/distributor road should be merged. Both articles are okay in their present form so there isn't a need to delete. Both refer to the same thing, a freeway with a collector-express system. The collector-express system is the successor to the Frontage road or service road. â Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.38.206.199 ( talk) 16:31, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
I made the merge. The reservation Northenglish mentioned doesn't sit well with me. There doesn't seem to be any particular measurement between the two, and certainly no need to have two articles when one could easily describe both. - ĘÉoĘÉiaÉ˛Â Ď Â˘ 18:19, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
This isn't an express lane, why does it redirect here? Express lanes have less access to interchanges. I-70 in St. Louis has a physically separated 2-lane express lane in the middle that switches directions for rush hours. Since it is in the middle, it doesn't have access to any interchanges for the duration of the express lane. I noticed car pool lanes in LA are like this sometimes as well, though they don't have a physical separation, just two solid white lines.
By the way, I came here from the "See also: Express lane" link under "Third (reversible) carriageways on freeways" section in the "Reversible Lane" article. â Preceding unsigned comment added by RalphTheWonderLlama ( talk ⢠contribs) 03:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
The reason express lanes was created because all entries that exist on that page were removed from this page. Additionally, to the best of my knowledge, express lanes as indicated in the express lanes article still have connections off the freeway, just less than the mainline, where as express lanes in the local-express lane system only has the ability to access the local lanes. Also, express lanes in the local-express lane system run in each direction at the same time, whereas those referenced in the express lanes system are reverseible and operate in a contraflow design, with special sinage and mechanics to allow ingress and egress at constructed inchanges.

M20 lanes seem to be just C/D lanes âPreceding unsigned comment added by Joe The Dragon ( talk ⢠contribs) 02:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
On IL-53 by I-90 the sings referrer to Local and Express lanes but they are short like Collector distributor lanes so Local-express are like long Collector distributor lanes. [3] Joe The Dragon 02:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
This one was classified as a collector-distributor road, not collector-express. Also we need images of this one. Jasper Deng ( talk) 23:05, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Here's one that could be of some use to the article [4] Haljackey ( talk) 05:19, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
This articles lead needs to be rewritten. Ontario and 400 series freeways are mentioned 10+ times. The article is suppose to be about local-express lanes, not an advertisement for the greater Toronto Areas highway system. I will rewrite it when I get the chance.

New Jersey Route 18 should be added to the list. its a unique example of a local-express configuration through downtown New Brunswick. 71.168.227.172 ( talk) 22:59, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone know the history of this design? I think it would be pretty cool if someone in the know could write a little bit about who invented it, when it started to be used, etc :) â Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.239.45.4 ( talk) 01:18, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

This article appears to discuss pretty much the same thing as Frontage road, and probably should be merged. If they're indeed different, that should be made clear in both articles. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 14:59, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

The conclusion seems to be clear and that there will be no merge. As such I have removed the banner. PeterEastern ( talk) 08:18, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Does the Dulles Toll Road/Dulles Access Road ( Virginia State Route 267) fall under this category? I would argue that it does. Nwebster84 ( talk) 02:23, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Why is Ontario Highway 403 not considered a local-express highway? The entry for Highway 403 says that it is. Notwithstanding that it's a short system, reasons why I believe it is:
I would like to bring attention to some naming confusion.
1) What is a local express system precisely and how does it differ from the collector distributor system?
2) of the four lane types (local, express, collector, distributor) which ones are inside the centre of the highway and which lanes are on the outside? The article is a bit confusing when it comes to this
I would like somebody to please help correct this issue because I am stumped myself, I've checked state DOT articles from the United States and Canadian government websites but they have conflicting information. Roadmasterbuick ( talk) 02:58, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
