If you click on "Deutsch" you get to this German article: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobahn%C3%A4hnliche_Stra%C3%9Fe If you then click on "English" you get to this English article: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Dual_carriageway Somehow, "Trunk road" and "Dual carriageway" would be the same in German then. Is that correct? Should any change be done? QuéSéYo2 (talk) 05:40, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, they're not the same thing -- but, in any case, the interwiki link has since been changed and now leads to de:Außerortsstraße. Once again, this is not really the same thing: it's, more or less literally, an "out-of-town" or extra-urban road -- so, any road between places, whatever its ranking (motorway to country lane) but somewhat closer to the English-language meaning of "trunk road". Personally, I'd say a trunk road was a Fernverbindungsstraße -- but the German Wp doesn't currently have an article of that name. -- Picapica (talk) 09:30, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Riksväg 26

In the Swedish National Road Database (select "Stamväg" in the menu to the right), Riksväg 26 Kristinehamn–Mora is not indicated to be a trunk road. See also this map from 2014, where Riksväg 26 is not indicated as a trunk road north of Kristinehamn, and discussion on Swedish Wikipedia. The source (p. 31) only states that "Väg 26 ingår i det nationella stamvägnätet" [Route 26 is part of the national trunk road network], nothing about it being a trunk road "all the way".
