Lede
 * Per Manual of Style/Lead section, this article's lead stands alone as a concise overview. This lede defines the route, establishes context for the route, explains why the route is notable, and summarizes the most important points about the route. It summarizes the Route description section, the History section, and mentions the major intersections.
 * The map of State Route 243 is released into the public domain and is therefore free to use in this article.
 * The info box is beautifully formatted and its content is sourced in the template and by the references below in the prose.
 * California Department of Transportation should be wiki-linked and mentioned by name with the abbreviation in the lede section, as it is responsible for the road's maintenance.
 * I'm not convinced that it should be, since it is in the infobox. --Rschen7754 21:24, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The lede is well-written, its contents are internally-cited by verifiable sources below in the prose, and I have no other suggestions or questions regarding this section.

Route description
 * Per Inline citation, it is suggested that inline citations should be consolidated at the end of sentences and paragraphs, and not within. But of course, this is not a deal breaker, and is merely a suggestion.
 * See below. --Rschen7754 21:24, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Riverside County should be named in this section, as it is named in the lede.
 * Done. --Rschen7754 21:24, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The abbreviation for California Department of Transportation should be mentioned in parentheses after its first mention in this section.
 * Done. --Rschen7754 21:24, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Otherwise, this section is well-written, its contents are internally-cited by verifiable sources below in the prose, and I have no other suggestions or questions regarding this section.

History
 * As mentioned above, per Inline citation, it is suggested that inline citations should be consolidated at the end of sentences and paragraphs, and not within. But of course, this is not a deal breaker, and is merely a suggestion.
 * All I see there is "Inline citations are often placed at the end of a sentence or paragraph", which doesn't mean that they can't be; in this case, it makes clear what information comes from what source. --Rschen7754 20:49, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Otherwise, this section is well-written, its contents are internally-cited by verifiable sources below in the prose, and I have no other suggestions or questions regarding this section.

Major intersections
 * The mention about the entire route being in Riverside County should be moved up to the route description section.
 * That actually is part of the header template, and replaces the county column, per WP:RJL. --Rschen7754 20:49, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The table is beautifully formatted and its contents and its contents are internally cited within the table. Under the post mile column, the inline citations should be listed in numerical order.
 * Done. --Rschen7754 20:49, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Otherwise, this section is well-written, its contents are internally-cited by verifiable sources below in the prose, and I have no other suggestions or questions regarding this section.
 * All replied to, and thanks for the review! --Rschen7754 21:24, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
