Route Descriptions
Routes of all regional roads in Ireland are defined by Statutory Instrument No. 188 of 2006, the Roads Act 1993 (Classification of Regional Roads) Order 2006; which specifies townlands, villages, towns, other settlements through which the route passes, as well as road names applied to route sections where applicable. The direction of any given route (that is, which end is the start and which is the termination) is determined by the route description in the Statutory Instrument, thus any route can be listed in the form "Start, Intermediate Destinations, Final Destination" as below:

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or descriptions:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“The fundamental laws of physics do not describe true facts about reality. Rendered as descriptions of facts, they are false; amended to be true, they lose their explanatory force.”
—Nancy Cartwright (b. 1945)
