 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * Are Virginia highways abbreviated "VA nn" or "SR nn"? The article is inconsistent.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Two of the sections of the article are entirely unsourced.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * I am not from Virginia, so I only know where a few cities are. I can honestly say I have no idea where this highway is located.  There is no geospatial context, whether it be a map or KML file, to tell the reader where the highway lies.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * I honestly believe the nominator does not have a firm grasp of the Good Article criteria. As such, I am failing this article. –Fredddie™ 17:26, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

I had a brief look at this, and I can endorse Fredddie's opinion that this does not meet the GA criteria. Furthermore, I'd suggest it's a prime candidate to be deleted, as it appears not to cite any significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources and I'd focus on getting sources such as significant news or book sources in the article ASAP.
