I'm having a disagreement with another editor over the destinations that should be shown in road junction lists, with the edits occurring primarily in southern New England. I want to make sure that I'm interpreting the "Destinations" bullet in WP:RJL correctly. In my reading, we use the destinations that are shown on the signs in the field, and I interpret that to include what we can see on a Streetview-type application. It appears that the other editor wants to put in the ultimate destinations that the numbered highways lead to, often at the expense of what are actually signed. I've been attempting to engage with the editor about the guidelines, but with little success, and I haven't seen anyone else jump in. So, could someone take a look at the histories of some of the highway articles in question and offer some input? Examples abound; my most recent exchange with the editor is on Massachusetts Route 2A. I've invited the editor to join this discussion. -- Ken Gallager ( talk) 12:49, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
I disagree with the insertion of standard format road junction lists on articles for motorways in the UK, because I believe they would be more difficult to read compared to what was there previously (eg: compare the list on the M53 motorway with the recently changed one on the M56 motorway).
The benefit of British style lists is that they can work with sequential and distance-based junction numbers, and visualize destinations signed from the junctions along different classes of road, it is only relaying what drivers would see on the ground to keep it straightforward.

Does anyone have a record of which British roads contain standard format road junction lists, which have the "British" style, and which, if any, any other format or none? Robertm25 ( talk) 14:10, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
@ SounderBruce: and I are in disagreement at Washington State Route 20 over the use of Pine Grove, Washington as the location for the junction between SR 20 and SR 21 North. I read the instructions here as to not add a place to a junction that is not in a community at all such a the junction of SR 20 and Old Kettle falls Rd which is outside any incorporated or Census designated place in Ferry County. The 20/21 junction is in the middle of however, and I feel meets the criteria for listing in the table.-- Kev min § 16:19, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
I remember there being a template for highway junction lists where one or more of the mile markers are missing. I tried to search for it on Google and found nothing. What is the template used? I want to add it to US Route 322. Bubby33 ( talk) 19:33, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
