[[Loop ramp]] ...
... links to Interchange (road). However, the first mention is in the Terminology section, where it only says: "Many loop ramps (as in a cloverleaf) are non-directional." – Now, wouldn't it make sense to add a definition of "loop ram" first? (I'm asking here, since the talk page doesn't seem to be very busy currently.) Thanks a lot in advance for any support! Best wishes--Neufund (talk) 17:04, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
:WP:BEBOLD is the relevant policy here. You should just do so, and if no one objects, then discuss it and come to a consensus. If no one objects, then no one objects... --Jayron32 17:08, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
::{{re|Jayron32}} Thank you for posting! In fact, I often make use of this guideline – however, in this case, I am afraid I do not have the necessary expertise to come up with an accurate, professional definition ... {{smiley|sad}} I don't want to confuse readers with a botched definition.--Neufund (talk) 17:23, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
:::Of course! Fortunately, we have lots of reliable sources from highway engineers and the like to choose from [https://www.google.com/search?safe=strict&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS805US805&ei=yFTTW7KWLI3ysQWU5ayABA&q=define+loop+ramp&oq=define+loop+ramp&gs_l=psy-ab.3...4187.4820..5140...0.0..0.103.612.6j1......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j35i304i39j0i7i30j0i13j0i8i7i30j0i13i30j0i13i5i30.o5XINuvxHS0 this Google search] turned up some good things, some of which could be useful. --Jayron32 17:58, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
::::Cloverleaf interchange exists as another place to redirect Loop ramp. That article at least mentions loop ramps in the lead. –Fredddie™ 15:41, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
:::::Cloverleaf interchanges aren't the only type of interchange to feature loop ramps though. For example, trumpet interchanges also contain loop ramps. Dough4872 16:20, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
::::::{{re|Fredddie|Dough4872}} Thank you both very much for commenting here! As you seem to know a lot more than I do (even after googling ...), would you mind if one of you maybe added a proper entry in the relevant target article section? Right now, the reader gets redirected from Loop ramp without being given any definition there. Hoping for your obligingness--Neufund (talk) 19:58, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
