Japan National Route 350
National Route 350 on Sado Island
- ... that Japan National Route 350 serves remote Sado Island without any bridges connecting it to its termini on Honshu? Source: "新潟市と上越市を「佐渡経由」で結ぶという国道350号。道路としては、佐渡島内の両津港と小木港とのあいだを結ぶ区間がほとんどを占め、本州から佐渡島に通じる2つの海上区間で、佐渡汽船のフェリーが運航されています。" [1]
- ALT1: ... that Japan National Route 350 serves remote Sado Island without any bridges connecting it to its termini that are on Honshu, due to a legal loophole? Source: "新潟市と上越市を「佐渡経由」で結ぶという国道350号。道路としては、佐渡島内の両津港と小木港とのあいだを結ぶ区間がほとんどを占め、本州から佐渡島に通じる2つの海上区間で、佐渡汽船のフェリーが運航されています。1970年代、佐渡島内の道路環境を改善すべく、地元関係者が新潟出身の政治家、田中角栄氏に、島内の県道を国道に昇格するよう陳情しました。しかし、佐渡島内で完結する道路では、都道府県庁所在地や重要な都市どうしを連絡するという国道の要件を満たしません。そこで角栄氏は佐渡汽船の航路に着目し、海上区間を含む「新潟～佐渡～上越」という区間にすることで、国道指定を果たしたそうです" [2]

What a loophole! New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present. Hook source is in correct position in article and AGF on its contents. No textual issues I see. (Would be fun if there was a hook specifically about the loophole, too.) Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:14, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Sammi Brie: Thanks for taking the time to review this. I've added another hook per your recommendation for added fun. Cheers ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 07:59, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- I can't approve the hook myself, but if a promoter wants to use it and check it out, that'd be fine. (Did some minor copyediting to the hook, too.) Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 08:00, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
