I am nominating this for featured list because this is the next in the series of lists on Michigan's state highway system. The product of research on and off over the last decade, this is the one page on the Internet that so comprehensively covers the topic of the United States Numbered Highways (US Highways) in the Great Lakes State and would join List of Interstate Highways in Michigan and Pure Michigan Byway at this level.

Comments

  1. Aren't all the current special routes business routes? Why not just call them business routes instead of special routes when referring to them in the Description section.
  2. The footnote for "MSHD & Rand McNally (1935a)" doesn't work.
  3. Do you think the US 2 and US 141 entries can be combined into one row with the combined length of the two sections following the format here?
  4. Isn't carferry supposed to be one word? You use both the one word and two word formats in the table.
  5. Do you think you can indicate what replaced the Bus. US 127 in Mason?
  6. Do you think you can add a photo gallery for the special routes?
  7. Why is there a long line (———) in the MDOT map refs? Dough4872 02:51, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Dough4872: replies:

  1. Because the heading below says "special routes", which it has to since there are alternate, business, bypass and truck routes listed.
  2. Fixed.
  3. I don't think that does the two highways proper justice when other resources treat them separately, including our infobox and RD section which divides them into the two sections. Also, that format does not ensure that the HR lines up across the columns, while actually putting them in separate rows does.
  4. Fixed, standardized on separate words for consistency with the SS Badger article.
  5. Added, but you might not like that answer.
  6. There aren't that many photos of business routes available, so I decided to omit a gallery for now.
  7. That's a standard notation in reference lists to indicate that the author there is the same as the author in the preceding entry.
