Maryland Route 61 → Canal Parkway – The Maryland Route 61 designation is unsigned and is only used internally by MDSHA while the road is known in signage and by the general public as the Canal Parkway. Therefore, per WP:UCN I feel the title should be changed to reflect the common name used by the general public rather than an internal designation. Dough4872 05:31, 30 July 2015 (UTC) --Relisted.

Support per nom, i.e. WP:UCN. — AjaxSmack 22:16, 2 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
~~Oppose~~. I want to see some evidence for the usage of the general public. I also want to see better justification for making an exception to the general naming principle for Maryland state highways for this highway. V C 22:57, 2 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Here is a news article that refers to the road as Canal Parkway as opposed to MD 61. However, a signed name should be given precedence to an unsigned designation used only by the MDSHA. If this article is kept at the title for the unsigned route number, then I guess we should move Garden State Parkway to New Jersey Route 444. Dough4872 00:19, 3 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

I struck my oppose. I do not support, but I do not feel strongly enough to stand in the way of consensus. V C 13:08, 8 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
