Good article, however some clarity issues must be addressed before it can be passed.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
  • Route description "where the speed limit is set for 25 miles per hour (40 km/h) beginning at 0.23-mile (0.37 km) of a mile.[1]" - I'm confused about the meaning of this part of the sentence.
  • Route description "Route 285 passes and alley and intersects with the southern terminus of Maryland Route 284." - Passes and alley? If this is suppose to be "passes an alley" I'm not sure what the signifigance of the alley is.
  • History "when a tanker crashed into the bridge and brought it of its abutments." - I think there is a typo in here somewhere.
  • History "The former alignment became part of an extension of Maryland 285 and the designation of the northern-most part of Maryland 537, 537B.[1]" - Again, I'm not sure what this sentence is trying to convey.
  1. B. MoS compliance:
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:

The sentence "where the speed limit is set for 25 miles per hour (40 km/h) beginning at 0.23 of a mile" is confusing. Beginning at 0.23 of a mile from what? Is the "beginning at 0.23 of a mile" part necessary? If so, some clarification is necessary to convey the meaning of this statement. --ErgoSum88 (talk) 20:43, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
