Lead

Please state the total length of the highway in the lead
- Done. V C 23:16, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think you should state that it is the main road between Baltimore and Philadelphia.
- I elaborated that the highway was a post road between the two cities in the second paragraph. MD 7 has not been the main road between the cities in over 70 years. V C 23:16, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Would like to see an external link to a google map highlighting the whole collection of routes in the top right of the page like Delaware Route 5.
- I think the google map links showing each individual route are sufficient if a person wants to look at the route in more detail. The map in the infobox provides a snapshot of the whole collection. V C 23:16, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Route description

You can wikilink the town names again, once in the lead and once in the article body.
- I prefer to wikilink each item only once among all prose sections of the article. Please let me know if I have been inconsistent. V C 23:16, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Its a pity that you or other editors who work on road articles don't provide coordinates. It makes far more sense when you can read the description and follow it on a google map. I guess you provide a link in some of the refs but that isn't always immediately obvious to the reader..♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:51, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- We will agree to disagree about coordinates. Thank you for the review, Dr. Blofeld. V C 23:16, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
