When to divide and un-divide roads[edit]

Before considering whether or not roads should be divided or un-divided, the editor must fully understand the conditions and considerations that go into the decision. These can be found here. The fundamental difference between dividing roads in the Southeast and the USA is that all conditions/requirements must be satisfied in the Southeast before dividing or un-dividing the road. The table below summarizes:
