Talk:Lawton Avenue

Two Lawton Avenues

Isn't the Lawton Avenue connecting J.P. Rizal Avenue a logical extension of the Old Lawton Avenue that ends in Arya Residences and Trion Towers at McKinley Parkway? The two Lawton Avenues are "connected" by 8th Avenue in BGC. –HTD 15:54, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Because Taguig is different from Makati? Haha. The problem with having 17 mayors and 17 councils for an area not even half the size of Zamboanga City and Puerto Princesa, it's not even one-fourth of Davao City. LOL! The street articles we have would be cut in half if only common sense and one mayor-council is followed. Like Aurora Boulevard–Magsaysay Boulevard, that's one street! Diego Cera Avenue–Elpidio Quirino Avenue–Harrison Avenue is another! Hehe. If only there's WP:MERGE for these streets, id have wikified them without leaving a redirect! Haha. Id love to get my hands on Ninoy Aquino Avenue–Dr. A. Santos Avenue and España Boulevard–Quezon Avenue too, as well as Gilmore Avenue–Granada Street–Ortigas Avenue. And even within the same LGU, like Bonifacio Drive–Roxas Boulevard, Boni Avenue–Pioneer Street, and Kamuning Road–Kamias Road that i plan to make. Aah! Barangay councils. LOL. That's Manila for you. :)--RioHondo (talk) 19:38, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Some of the roads mentioned are part of the Circumferential Road and Radial Road networks, now seldom used, and only a few numbers are being used, as in the cases of C-3, C-4, C-5, and C-6, and others may be part of numbered national highways by the Department ofP Public Works and Highways (DPWH), which is slowly implemented.

• Aurora Boulevard–Magsaysay Boulevard - parts of Radial Road 6 (R-6) and Highways 170 (Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard and Aurora Boulevard west of EDSA) and 59 (Aurora Boulevard east of EDSA)
• Diego Cera Avenue–Elpidio Quirino Avenue–Harrison Avenue - portions are parts of numbered routes, like Radial Road 2 (Quirino Avenue and Diego Cera Avenue) and Highway 62 (Quirino Avenue south of NAIA Road and NAIA Expressway, and Diego Cera Avenue)
• Ninoy Aquino Avenue–Dr. A. Santos Avenue - part of Highways 195 (whole Ninoy Aquino Avenue) and 63 (most of Dr. A. Santos Avenue or Sucat Road)
• España Boulevard–Quezon Avenue - all portions part of Radial Road 7(R-7) and Highway 170.
• Gilmore Avenue–Granada Street–Ortigas Avenue- all parts of Radial Road 5(R-5), Highways 184 (Gilmore Avenue, Granada Street, and Ortigas Avenue west of EDSA) and 60 (Ortigas Avenue east of EDSA, and Ortigas Avenue Extension).
• Bonifacio Drive–Roxas Boulevard - Bonifacio Drive is part of Radial Road 10(R-10) and Roxas Avenue is part of Radial Road 1(R-1), and are parts of the DPWH National Highway system, with two numbers:
  • Highway 120/AH26 (Bonifacio Drive and Roxas Boulevard north of EDSA)
  • Highway 61 (Roxas Boulevard south of EDSA)

Most of the roads mentioned are mostly part of the Circumferential or Radial Road numbered routes, which have articles for each route, but for the DPWH route numbers, a recent thing I saw on some of the national roads (though these are already present on national road inventory data available on the DPWH website, years before the routes numbers is started to be implemented on national highways other than portions being part of AH26, that already shown the numbers, along with AH26, from 2014 and 2015), they may be mentioned on the articles, or linked to the road articles mentioned, if the DPWH numbered route has an article, but, the naming scheme for DPWH numbered routes is still not known, until the numbers become part of everyday speech or mentioned in reliable sources. I propose possible naming schemes for DPWH numbered routes:

• '"Route X/XX/XXX (Philippines)
• Highway X/XX/XXX (Philippines) (though some old road names use the "Highway X/XX/XXX" scheme, like Highway 54, or the present-day EDSA)
• National Highway X/XX/XXX (Philippines) (though this naming seems to be used on historical American-era highway numbered routes, like National Highway 17 in Cavite and Batangas, that are found on US military records and maps, with some of them availabe on Commons).--TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 09:11, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Yup, Manila's radial road network: A "network" of basically the same road just named differently per LGU it passes. Hehe! The challenge is always figuring out where one "road" ends and the other one begins lol! Btw too early to discuss naming schemes for new routes, there isnt even an article that discusses it yet. :)--RioHondo (talk) 09:43, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
