I will have a review up shortly.Neonblak ^talk - 17:29, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

Lead is well written and appears to be a good summary of the article. The infobox is informative, and the picture appears to be of correct public use tag.

Route description

"Highway 400A is a short highway with a narrow grass median for the majority of its length." - The length of the road isn't included in this paragraph like it was in the lead. I think a better opening sentence would read something like this: "Highway 400A is a 1.1-kilometre (0.68 mi) 400-series highway located in the Canadian province of Ontario."

I would then follow that with a comprehensive sentence such as: "The unisigned freeway includes a narrow grass median for the majority of its length, and features a speed limit of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph)."

"On an average day, roughly 11,900 vehicles use it." clunky... maybe say "On average, the highway is used by approximately 11, 900 vehicles daily."

History

"In 1950, the freeway was extended north through Barrie..." - To make it easier for the reader, I would clarify that "...the freeway was extended north through the town of Barrie..." and then link to the town. I know that it is linked in the infobox, but not everyone reads that.

Same with Crown Hill. Is that a town? If so, it seems that when I looked it up, it appeared to be name Springwater instead.

Crown Hill was at one point a small crossroads village located at Hwy 93 and Hwy 11, but it is long gone. Today, the name is synonymous with the Hwy 11 and Hwy 93 junction. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 21:26, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is all I saw that needed to be addressed. I can't check the items in the GA Toolbox at the moment, but should be able to later on this evening. Thank you for your efforts, and I look forward assisting you in gettin this promoted.Neonblak ^talk - 18:19, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My responses are indented. Thanks for the review! The external link checker comes up clean, but the dab link checker went down with Toolserver. Cheers, Floydian ^τ _¢ 21:26, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks good, thank you. I will go ahead and pass this ! Neonblak ^talk - 23:01, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
