*New knowledge has been dropped on me today. I was speaking with one of the Kenyan students here. He is staying at the school over the holidays. I was politely inquiring about his home country and city (he is from Nairobi), and I was ever so inquizitive. Apparently ''Coastal Highway'' is what the Kenyans call the highway that runs from the Tanzanian border to Malindi and up to Garissa in the North East Province. It is so named not because it follows the coastline (although it does from the border to Mailindi) but because it traverses the length of the Coastal Province. Now we have an answer to the question don't we. While this is not conclusive, considering the topography and general accuracy of Bungie's use of Kenyan geography, I can be comfortable inferring that this is the same highway. Yes/No?? --<b>[[User:Spamhammer|<span style="color:Blue; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">Spamhammer</span>]] [[User talk:Spamhammer|<span style="color:Red; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">"I reject your reality and substitute my own."</span>]]</b> 21:54, December 23, 2009 (UTC) | *New knowledge has been dropped on me today.

*{{Support}} "The waterfront highway" is different from "Waterfront Highway" - in the former situation, "waterfront highway" is a noun; in the latter situation, "Waterfront Highway" is a proper noun. The wording that Buck used indicates that he implied a proper noun. So Waterfront Highway seems to be one name of the coastal highway.--[[User talk:Plasmic Physics|Plasmic Physics]] 03:54, April 11, 2010 (UTC) | *{{Support}} "The waterfront highway" is different from "Waterfront Highway" - in the former situation, "waterfront highway" is a noun; in the latter situation, "Waterfront Highway" is a proper noun.

*{{Neutral}}- Buck called it Waterfront Highway within the Campaign, and it doesn't always matter what the level is called ("Data Hive" takes place in what this site says is the New Mombasa Data Center). Although, it could just be a nickname. There are no signs (from what I've seen) that say otherwise. --[[User talk:TDSpiral94|TDSpiral94]] 16:44, October 31, 2009 (UTC) | *{{Neutral}}- Buck called it Waterfront Highway within the Campaign, and it doesn't always matter what the level is called ("Data Hive" takes place in what this site says is the New Mombasa Data Center).

*{{Neutral}}- As per above and below supporters. Technically speaking, it should be referred to as 'Waterfront' if the surrounding body of water is not an ocean, and 'Coastal' if said body is an ocean. However, 'Waterfront' could also be used to refer to objects close to any large body of water, while Coastal, I believe, is only applied to objects close to an ocean. | *{{Neutral}}- As per above and below supporters.
