[edit]

I'm going to be moving this article back to low-budget freeway, and writing an article specific to RIRO expressways. Bear with me, I'm working on it! Snickerdo 03:42, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Origins?

[edit]

I'dd love to know the origins of the term. Presumably it stands for something? Do professionals say it as an acronym or abbreviation. Etc... Samaritan 19:29, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

RIRO = right-in, right-out, the article's a bit of a mess - I think it should be moved to that and talk about those interchanges, but it started out as low budget freeway, a neologism, not sure what'll happen, quack --SPUI (talk) 20:01, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit]

Whoever created the [[low-budget freeway]] article is a roadgeek who has a sophisticated nomenclature POV about the term freeway. Sometimes, people will consider some divided highway with at-grade intersections a freeway just because it has no traffic lights and a speed of 65mph or more. Sometimes, the features of the highway will use less concrete hence the "low-budger" therefore is not a neologism. --SuperDude 00:57, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, you created it (since moved here). And it is a neologism. --SPUI (talk) 05:46, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Examples

[edit]

Do we really need that many examples? 203.218.141.99 06:04, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I like to think I'm as roadgeeky as the next, but I must agree with the anon. There are countless RIROs throughout the world: it's a slippery slope to provide them all. I know I have numerous photos of RIROs at work -- I'll see about uploading them to get some photos, with which I will concurrently remove all the RIRO examples (unless anyone can provide some reason why a specific RIRO is notable over any other). --Thisisbossi 03:55, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the examples are not encyclopedic, so I have deleted them.[1] --Una Smith (talk) 07:18, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a better title

[edit]

This needs a better title - there's no reason for choosing right-in/right-out rather than left-in/left-out as the article name, ideally neither should be used but rather some simple alternative.

Quebec Route 134

[edit]
I'm not too familiar with this location specifically, so perhaps this particular location is an exception: but generally I wouldn't say that any type of interchange ramp is RIRO in the context of this article. You could argue that pretty much all interchange ramps are, technically, RIRO (apart from LILO & a couple odd-balls); but that's certainly not what is intended by the term. --Bossi (talkgallerycontrib) 01:40, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RIRO expressway images

[edit]

I've just added images of Ontario Highway 11 to illustrate RIRO expressways. Would it make more sense to pull some of that text out to the body of the article, and possibly create a new "RIRO expressways" section? --Chaswmsday (talk) 17:48, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
