Pass/Fail:

The route is a two-lane undivided road its entire length with a speed limit ranging from 45 to 50 mph (72 to 80 km/h) that passes through mountainous areas as well as the settlements of Loartown and Montel. - Speed limit is probably unnecessary here.
The road was originally a state highway by 1927 between Loartown and Clarysville - Makes it sound like the route is no longer a state highway.
At its southern terminus, Maryland Route 55 begins at an intersection with Maryland Route 36 (New Georges Creek Road) in Vale Summit, heading east on Vale Summit Road, a two-lane undivided road with a 45 mph (72 km/h) speed limit. - Confusing sentence, could be worded better.
The road runs parallel to Braddock Run, passing through the residential settlements of Loartown and Montel before descending into Spruce Hollow. - Is it Braddock Run that passes through the residential settlements of Loartown and Montel before descending into Spruce Hollow?
Here, MD 55 continues north before crossing under Interstate 68 and U.S. Route 40 (National Freeway) without an interchange. - Surely it continues northward even after crossing unhder I-68 and US 40?
Another image wouldn't hurt.

Good job other than that. It would be nice if the history section provided a bit more info, but GAs just have to be reasonably broad. Putting this on-hold for now. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 02:08, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
