 * User:Xeno was excellent enough to have their bot tag all the articles under our coverage. This means there are 660 articles to assess. Please be honest in assessing them, as this is what determines where we need to focus most. Almost no articles are worthy of a B at this point, so there should not be 20 of them appearing overnight.


 * March 25, 2010
 * Lots of work to be done:
 * ✅ Add Infobox road to any article on a road without one.
 * Update all junction lists in accordance with the new Road Junction List Guideline
 * ✅ Update this project page to current status
 * ✅ Assess tagged articles, assigning an appropriate rating according to our assessment scheme

We need your help to rebuild this project from the ground up, and rewrite essentially every article.
