 * The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and may or may not be accurate for the article in question (due to possible javascript errors/uniqueness of articles).


 * Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.


 * Per WP:MOSNUM, there should be a non-breaking space -  between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18&amp;nbsp;mm.


 * There are a few occurrences of weasel words in this article- please observe WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view.

 * Comments: It looks pretty good in my opinion. It might be good to add information regarding the policies/procedures/criteria for addition of new routes, as well as extension, deletion, and other changes to existing routes. I also seem to recall that any new route has to satisfy certain design standards. These design standards should be listed. In fact, there is a red link to "design standards" in the article that should probably be fixed. Also, even though there is a separate article, some more details of bannered routes should probably be included in the article. Even just a listing of all possible "banner types" might be useful. I would also add a history of the total mileage of the system if available, or even just the current total mileage in the introduction. Also, are there U.S. highway toll roads that are not interstates? That might also be interesting. That's all I can think of for now. I'll add more if I think of anything else. --Polaron | Talk 17:27, 4 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the response.
 * I can add more about AASHTO policies, as their policy document is online.
 * I believe the design standards are the recommended standards in the AASHTO Green Book - I can make that clear.
 * Probably only the ones recognized by AASHTO - so for instance not Historic.
 * I have no idea of the total mileage. I can't simply add up the individual ones, due to concurrencies. I've never seen such a figure, except in the planning stages (as a percentage of federal aid roads).
 * There are a few non-bridge toll sections of U.S. Routes, and there have been Toll bannered routes in the past.
 * One comment - a map would be nice, showing current and former routes. I'll see what I can do.
