Federal road naming (MRR2)

Postby dayojah » Thu Jul 22, 2010 12:05 am

I find the way Federal roads are named muddled when my Nuvi reads it out.
The MRR2 in Ulu Kelang is named "28 MRR2 (E)" on the map, the (E) part is ignored.

For a start everybody knows this road as MRR2 only and the E is not correct, so how about naming something like
"MRR2 FR28" with the well known name first and giving a prefix to Federal Roads as is done for highways (E)

This would be a lot less confusing

Thoughts please

The "E" should refer to "EAST" and Not "Expressway"
