Why, and how can this be featured?

Why does the main table of this article have two columns for length? The second one is such a waste of space. And to me, kind of mind-numbing about what the rest of this article has to say. Has this been discussed and actually defended? --Doncram (talk) 20:38, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Doncram: there a few reasons why there are two columns. It's a standard feature of {{convert}} using |disp=table. Other FLs on highways like List of Interstate Highways in Michigan (promoted in 2014) use the separate columns. It's also been fairly standard on highway articles to use the separate columns; look at any of the thousands of highway articles' junction/exit lists, look at Interstate 75 in Michigan#Exit list (an FA), for example.
