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)
