-==Suggested road type definitions==
-===Freeway===
-I want to suggest that a '''Freeway''' is a limited-access highway.  I would define that as:
-*no stop lights or stop signs
-*no intersections (bridges or overpasses used for ALL crossing roads and railways)
-*on and off ramps
-*speed limit 55 or higher
-Could I get consensus from the other CT Waze Editors on the above definition?
-Based on that definition, the following should be '''Freeways,''' not major highways:
-*the limited-access portions of CT route 7 (in Norwalk and Danbury)
-*the limited-access portions of CT route 8 (from Bridgeport to Torrington)
-*the limited-access portions of CT route 15 (from the NY border until I-91)
-===Major Highway===
-'''Major Highway''' and '''Minor Highway''' should be defined not by the speed or shape of the road, but by its route number designation. That is:
-*A "major highway" is any U.S. Highway (US Route 1, US Route 7, etc) that isn't freeway.
-So for instance US 7 between Wilton and Danbury is a Major Highway, regardless of its number of lanes. So is The Boston Post Road, for its entire length from the NY border to the RI border. It doesn't make sense to have such a major important to
-*A '''minor highway''' is any Connecticut highway (CT route 106, CT route 110, etc.) that isn't freeway.
-===Minor Highway===
-Any road with a Connecticut route number.
-===Primary Street===
-Any "main road" that is one of the main thoroughfares of a town. Should be set only by local users who drive in that town regularly and know which roads are primary.
-I haven't made these changes to the [Connecticut Roads By Type] page yet but would like to do so, unless there are any strong objections. [[User:Saxteacher3|Saxteacher3]] 19:21, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
