Talk:Forest Service Road System

• ... that the Forest Service Road System is eight times longer than the entire Interstate Highway System?

• • ALT1: ... that the United States Forest Service manages more miles of road than any state, except for two? Source: "Only the states of Texas and California manage more total road miles than the Forest Service." from , with this link to back up that claim
  • ALT2: ... that less than 20% of the Forest Service Road System carries 80% of its traffic? Source: "An estimated 1.7 million recreational vehicles travel forest roads each day. Eighty percent of this use is on 20% of the system, mostly on roads that are accessible to low-clearance vehicles." from

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting:
• Other problems: - ALT0 says the system is eight times longer than the Interstate system, which is ambiguous. The article talks strictly about it being eights times as long. Please consider rephrasing the hook.

Overall: I like ALT0 best, provided the above clarification. Rest looks good. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 18:17, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, let me rephrase it. How about:

• ... that the Forest Service Road System is eight times the length of the Interstate Highway System?

That should make it less ambiguous. Thanks. feedmepaperr (talk) 00:09, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
