Where did you get the "A [number] expressway" info from?

I'm in Beijing and we see none of this. All our expressways are termed "G020", "G101" and so on and so forth.

Is China finally adopting the "A" numbering system like we see in much of Europe?

We see the "A" system in Shanghai. Actually maybe we have to tell the difference between 'GUODAO' and national expressway. 'GUODAO' are marked as 'GXXX', but not all GUODAO are expressway.

Beijing-Taipei Expressway

Does anyone find this proposal worthy of attention on the article? I don't think this Xinhua article is the first mention of the idea...I could have sworn I'd seen it mentioned on Wikipedia. --Dpr 08:23, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Better pictures

Can anyone add a few more better pictures. China has 41,000km expressways, there should be some better picture than that are shown now. Drkyang 17:08, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Merge with National Trunk Highway System

If the NTHS are the same as Expressways of China, why not merge the two? Heilme 07:09, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Maps anyone?

Yes, there's the link to the network map from the Chinese government, anyway of making it fair-use, like the German Autobahn system map, or at least translate the Chinese into English? -Daniel Blanchette 20:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Check this out: [1]
It's in English but much smaller. I cannot make maps but it would be great if anybody here who can make maps try to help. Thanks! 75.73.8.206 04:59, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

"National Trunk Highway System" should split from this article

Just as expressways in US not equal to the interstate system, expressways in China are different with the national trunk highway system. Chinese road standards are: expressway, 1st-class road (four lane highway), and 2nd-class road (two lane highway) and so on. In the national trunk highways plan, only 70% of them are in expressway standard. Roads to remote western area such as Tibet are still in 1st- or 2nd-class road standard. Currently, upgrading these roads to expressway standard are economically unnecessary and technically difficult, though these upgrading works are planed to be accomplished in the more ambitious national expressway network plan. On the other hand, in the eastern part of China, many provincial roads are upgraded to expressway standard due to heavy traffic. That's why the mileage of national trunk highway system is much smaller than the total expressway mileage in China (35,000km vs. 53,600km). Sinolonghai (talk) 17:12, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Jingha Expressway

Okay, whose idea was it to post five-year old news and claim that the Jingha Expressway isn't completed to Harbin yet? Henjeng55155 (talk) 00:29, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Nobody edits these pages anymore, but I will. Charizardmewtwo (talk) 17:09, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

The theoretical G99 expressway

Very interesting . . . . . . if the PRC claims Taiwan, why does it report that China has 0km of expressways on 01-01-1988 and then list the bogus G99 as currently operational on the PRC's perceived national map? Taiwan's original 372km freeway has been fully operational since 1978! Allentchang (talk) 15:51, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

For the ... see

I've removed this part because it was a red link. It should be clarified what was meant by Republic of China (China), current Taiwan (Highways of Taiwan)or pre-communist China.

For the highway system of the Republic of China (China), see Highway system in China.

Longest expressway network?

The US numbered highway system (which includes the Interstate Highway System) is 259,032 kilometers long. Instead of comparing with only the US Interstate Highway System, China's Expressway System should be compared with the US numbered highway system instead because most of that complies with the Expressway standard.

@Zarxos: Your map might need to be updated again. July 22nd, they added more expressways, and removed a bunch of loops. It's absolutely insane; come check it out please. Dennis Dartman (talk) 20:18, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

@Dennis Dartman: Thanks for the note. It looks like the original creator of the map added English place names in his latest update, so I just removed my version. Zarxos (talk) 04:16, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

@Zarxos: And who might the original creator be? Dennis Dartman (talk) 15:00, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
