Ref 18 (Gt Eastern Highway's secret (info)) doesn't seem to work for me.

Your map references should have scales indicated.
- Added the scale for Ref 58 (Plan for the Metropolitan Region). The others don't specify a scale in numbers, they just have scale bars - presumably because with computer files, the scale varies based on your zoom level, or the paper size you print it out on. Same with Google maps, they don't have a fixed scale. - Evad37 [talk] 03:36, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Its something Imzadi1979 (talk · contribs) and I have discussed on IRC lately. You can either do "Scale not given" for your maps that just have the bar or either measure your screen with the pdf at 100% resolution or print the legend at 100% resolution then work out the scale fraction from there. Google Maps does not need a scale defined. (@Imzadi1979: - Might be worth noting on the Google Maps/Bing Maps/Yahoo Maps template documentation that scale is not needed.) --AdmrBoltz 06:22, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Seeing I was mentioned here, I'll just briefly comment. Of the two citation styles (Chicago Manual of Style, MLA) I used in my college classes this past semester, neither gave specific citation formats for maps. However, when looking up formats, various university websites did give citation formats for maps in Chicago, APA and MLA, and in all cases I found, "Scale not given" or a scale was listed for fixed maps. For dynamic scaled maps, like Google, etc, nothing was indicated. (As for the Google/Bing/Yahoo templates, they can't be given a scale anyway.) Imzadi 1979 → 06:51, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Overlinking in your references (only the first instance of a newspaper needs to be linked, etc)

You have CS1 errors - these are mostly the use of seperate Month and Year fields (should use a unified date field) or coauthors.

Prose
"a river crossing into Perth's CBD (central business district)" - typically abbreviations are spelt-out first then put into () after > Perth's Central Business District (CBD).

Typically, but not always, speed limits are left out of USRD articles as its a bit trivial and borders on Wikipedia is not a Travel Guide.
- WP:NOTEVERYTHING says "Verifiable and sourced statements should be treated with appropriate weight". I think that including a brief mention, in general terms, of the main speed limit zones is useful encyclopaedic information, and approriately weighted to the size of the article. It allows readers to see which parts are low speed/medium speed/high speed – without listing every single sections speed limit and each change point. (Also, lots of stuff in road articles comes somewhat close to one or more of the WP:NOT examples – RJLs, traffic volumes, dual/single carriagway, etc – but are still included, with an appropriate level of detail) - Evad37 [talk] 14:16, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough. --AdmrBoltz 14:27, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
With units under 10 (e.g. 2.1 km, etc), you should be using {{convert/spell}} and not {{convert}}, which will spell out the units.
"where the highway encounters a steep[note 1]" - why is this a foot note and not just in the prose?
- Integrated into prose. I originally put it in as a footnote because it is more of a technical detail, and I thought the prose flowed better that way. - Evad37 [talk] 14:16, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise, looks good. --AdmrBoltz 16:46, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
