Length issues[edit]

Per WP:USRD/STDS, there should only be 8–10 junctions in the infobox. There are 16.

The RD section should really be trimmed down in length. This is a long-running (no pun intended) issue with US Highways in Georgia. The section uses 2,254 words to describe 387 miles of highway, while U.S. Route 23 in Michigan uses 1,584 words for 362 miles of highway. It doesn't seem so bad here at the moment, but this article lacks a history section.

Three quick side comments: either we link to a name or we boldface it; we don't do both. (Additionally, we really shouldn't have terms in boldface outside of the lead.) Also, "suburbs" in a heading should not be capitalized. There's also a discrepancy between the lead and the infobox about the length of the highway. Imzadi 1979 → 05:22, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

History section[edit]

The current history section is about one accident. This hardly counts as a proper history section under the USRD assessment standards. There are literally decades of history left out of the article, and on that basis, I've downgraded the recent assessment promotion. Imzadi 1979 → 03:15, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Imzadi1979: Would you say it looks more proper now? It's not as detailed as say, the Michigan US 41 article, but it's a start. Mccunicano ☕️ 05:07, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
