I think the US constitution template is unneeded here as it does not even refer to post roads and just takes over the whole article as it stands now. Unless someone has a great reason to keep it, I will remove it. ww2censor ( talk) 18:51, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
I added the post road and post office clause to the template. I think there's a way to automatically collapse it, but I'm not sure how.-- Swampyank ( talk) 22:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't think that the Tōkaidō the Nakasendō should be included in this article. Japanese kaidō ("postal roads") were not built for the transportation of mail; rather, they were established for travelers going (primarily) to and from Edo. Even though the word shukuba is often translated as "post town" or "post station," it is not in reference to mail. Douggers ( talk) 00:49, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
As far as I know, it is not related to mail either.-- Swampyank ( talk) 01:46, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
I remember reading some time ago that when Benjamin Franklin was the Assistant/Deputy Postmaster General, he had mile markers erected along the post roads, many of which still exist. Do you have any further information on this aspect of US post roads? Thank you, Wordreader ( talk) 02:49, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
