U.S. Route 322 in New Jersey
I would like some pointers on how to improve this article to GA status, and then ultimately FA status (but that review will be done in normal peer review). ( [ →] zel zany  - new age roads) 02:44, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * Lead: A statement briefly indicating what U.S. Route 322 is would be helpful. Also, in addition to listing the termini, the areas served by the road should probably be mentioned (e.g. what major centers does one usually go to if one were to use the road). The route numbering history is not necessary for the intro but if a mjor portion of the road is known by some name (e.g. Black Horse Pike), that should definitely be mentioned here. Also AADT is the average daily traffic so the statement saying "10615 vehicles use the road annulaly" is incorrect. For proper style, "10615" and "6910" should be written as "10,615" and "6,910".
 * Route description: My general comment is that it concentrates too much on what roads are intersected. Expanding the information on the road character (what type of road is it, what types of places does it go through, etc.) that is already there would improve readability.
 * History: Is there any information about the road prior to 1936? What was it numbered as prior to the U.S. Highway system. Was it an old turnpike? What was the original routing of 322 when first designated?
 * Junction list: If US 322 is concurrent with US 40 all the way to the end of US 40, then its terminus should be the same as that for US 40 and should not be listed as "US 40" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Polaron (talk • contribs) 15:21, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure that the exact AADT belongs. The prose could use a bit of work, for instance "The year of 1953 sees the 1953 state highway renumbering". Was it a turnpike road, and if not, why is it called Black Horse Pike? You should probably link to US 40 (NJ) or U.S. Route 40 (New Jersey) rather than U.S. Route 40 in New Jersey, except in the "further information" heading, so people looking for US 40 can find it.

This isn't completely relevant to the peer review, but I'm very curious about the 1973 publication "American Highways" by AASHTO - did this include a full history of the U.S. Highway system, or did it just mention US 322? If the former, it would be a very useful resource for many articles. --NE2 22:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
