Talk:North Carolina Highway 67

RD length

Sorry, but that section is way too long for a road of this length. It should be cut in half. In fact, I'd say on that basis that the article fails to meet the Good Article Criteria, specifically the part of criterion 1a about being "concise" and more specifically criterion 3b about "sta[ing]s focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail".

I trimmed it down pretty significantly this morning, so hopefully it is better. I think “half” is a little too much to cut it by, but this should have taken out much of the “fluff”. Ncchild (talk) 15:35, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Route Description first round

• NC 67 travels east along Winston Road for 1.5 miles (2.4 km) until reaching an Interstate 77 (I-77) and US 21. I would remove mileage and add interchange type and exit number.
  •  Fixed--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• Departing Jonesville, it primarily runs through rural Yadkin County until approaching Boonville from the west. NC 67 enters into Boonville near an intersection with Shenandoah Trail and picks up the name Main Street. Combine these and shorten.
  •  Fixed--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• Main Street primarily travels through a residential area of Boonville until entering the central business district and intersecting US 601 (Carolina Avenue). use different word for Boonville, as it was used in last sentence. Also would it be a little better to remove "residential area" and "central business district". As well as others in the paragraphs or are they needed? An example could be New York State Route 22.
  •  Fixed I did some modifications including removing a couple instances of Boonville and trying to combine the sentences. Not sure if it's needed but I do think it helps with the "surroundings" part of the route description. I was told that when I first started doing Wikipedia a few years ago but may not really be a thing anymore.--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• It crosses over Silas Creek Parkway and the two roads run parallel with each other for 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) while running adjacent to the campus of Wake Forest University.[3][1] not sure because of next sentence: add if there is a connection to the Parkway?
  •  Fixed--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• At an intersection with Wake Forest Road, NC 67 turns to the southwest along the 1⁄4-mile-long (0.40 km) road until intersecting Silas Creek Parkway. I would remove the distance.
  •  Fixed--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• NC 67 turns to run southwest along Silas Creek Parkway at the intersection upgrading to a imited-access highway The highway meets Robinhood Road at a partial cloverleaf interchange, where Silas Creek Parkway begins a turn to the south. Add period, and change "The highway" to something else.
  •  Fixed--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• NC 67 then interchanges with Country Club Road at another partial cloverleaf interchange and continues south for 0.6 miles (0.97 km) until reaching US 421 (Salem Parkway) at a cloverleaf interchange. I would change to "NC 67 reaches a partial cloverleaf interchange with Country Club Road then a cloverleaf interchange with US 421 (Salem Parkway) .6 later".
  •  Fixed Thanks for the suggestion!--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• NC 67 passes between Hanes Mall, located to the south the highway, and Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center, located to the north of the highway. Are the two "the highway" needed? I may be wrong.
  •  Fixed You're right they most certainly are not.--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• The roadway then interchanges with Bolton Street, turns to the east and re-enters a residential area of Winston-Salem. I would change to "reaches an interchange with" and add interchange type. Also the sentence might need to be split after.
  •  Fixed, and I don't think it needs to be split now but that's just my opinion.--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• East of Lockland Avenue, the roadway turns to the southeast, crosses Salem Creek, and begins a gradual return to the east. The highway approaches I-40 but turns to briefly parallel the roadway for 500 feet (150 m) between Salisbury Ridge Road and NC 150 (Peters Creek Parkway). The eastern terminus of NC 67 is located at the NC 150 intersection in southern Winston-Salem.[3][1] I think this section should be shortened into two sentences. I'd remove the 500 feet part and add in that I-40 can be accessed by NC 150.
  •  Fixed--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• Add the "vehicles per day".
  •  Fixed--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• Add link to AADT.
  •  Fixed--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• NC 67 is included within the National Highway System, a network of highways in the United States which serve strategic transportation facilities Is it the entire length in the NHS? Make "a network of highways in the United States which serve strategic transportation facilities" as a footnote.

History

• Maybe add a future section about the future interchange with future Winston-Salem Northern Beltway.
• from Conover to Sparta, North Carolina does Sparta need the NC after it?
  •  Fixed--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• Put all references in order
  •  Fixed (Hopefully I didn't miss one)--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• How did the terminus change from US21 to US21 Business?
  •  Fixed 21 was moved onto I-77 when it was built. Hopefully it is now clarified in the article. --Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• In 1962, US 421 was placed Should this say by 1962?
  •  Fixed--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
• Here are some newspaper articles I found that may be able to be added: [1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6]
  • Used a couple of them that I found helpful. Thank you as always!--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

@Ncchild: No worries. take your time, no hurry. Thanks-420Traveler (talk) 14:52, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

@420Traveler: I think I got everything, let me know your thoughts. I know there is another editor that changed a couple of my edits in the interim, so hopefully everything stays lol.--Ncchild (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

@Ncchild: everything looks good. Just need to add other reference to the date in the infobox then it will pass. -420Traveler (talk) 16:13, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

@420Traveler I think I got it! Thank you as always!! Ncchild (talk) 03:48, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
