Robert C Byrd Drive edit

Hey folks, I have a few questions as I am new to editing road articles. WV16 is also known as Robert C Byrd Drive as it leads into Sophia, West Virginia. How and where do I indicate this? ALSO, from Sophia, Coal City Road becomes WV 16 again (outside of Amigo, West Virginia). Could I also add this, and how would I do so?Coal town guy (talk) 15:42, 3 April 2013 (UTC)Reply


The best way to do this would be to write a narrative describing WV 16's route. You could include it in there. Otherwise, there's not a good way to do this. Bitmapped (talk) 03:22, 4 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
Agreed, I took out my trip notes I normally take last night along with the Delorme Atlas of WV I just so happen to read to fall asleep. I think I can nail it. WV 2 has, IMO, an excellent narrative form which could be used here.Coal town guy (talk) 12:25, 4 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Sophia WV and Route 16 and CR29 edit

If you get to Sophia, which is outside of Beckley, 16 forks to CR29 why isnt this noted on the article?Coal town guy (talk) 12:59, 2 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

The article isn't intended to be a listing of every single intersections or directions to every town along the route. Bitmapped (talk) 03:55, 3 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
I understand what the article table is, and it states major intersections, Sophia, is incorporated, and Rt16 turns in the middle of its historic district which is on the National Register of Historic places.........., appreciate the reply, I agree it would be nearly impossible to list all of the places along that route........Coal town guy (talk) 13:31, 3 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
