A few more and details at and of course

Beach driving

I can't find an "official citation" I'll look for one later, but this shows up on a simple google search .

I have a few pics of beach "street signs" but they are too foggy to read, and plenty of pics of my car sitting on the beach, but that isn't a cite. I'll find a WSDOT page later, because they used to have a good one about it. SchmuckyTheCat 08:45, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Here we go:

• Beaches are public highways, RCW 79A.05.693
• Parts of beaches are reserved for pedestrians certain parts of the year, 79A.05.655. .

There is still a better WSDOT page. SchmuckyTheCat 08:59, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm, a WSDOT reference would be better - the law says nothing about them being state highways, just public highways. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 09:47, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

public highway = state highway. cite from ocean shores police dept . SchmuckyTheCat 19:23, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

"(b) "Public highway" means the entire width between the boundary lines of every way publicly maintained when any part is open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicular travel." "Public highway" means every street, road, or highway in this state. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 19:25, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Massive change to list

Why was this list changed to link to a whole bunch of redirects? What's more, this is starting to resemble the fiasco that happened in California. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 20:57, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Because those are the correct names. They will be moved there eventually. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 21:02, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Add this to the med cabal case. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 21:05, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Hahaha, you're just looking for anything to use against me. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 21:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I've found plenty at CA. I don't need this to make a case. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 21:12, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

As someone who lives here, in addition to your citation of the RCW, I can verify they are indeed always called "State Route XX" (and more often, but informally, "SR XX") and never "Washington State Route XX". Once the articles are all moved, the redirects won't be an issue. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Internationally they are "Washington State Route x". Also, SPUI needs to gain consensus for these mass moves. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 05:03, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
