• Here in Ohio, ODOT keeps extensive, publicly-accessable statistics on the volume of traffic on state routes daily. Does Pennsylvania do the same thing? It would be helpful for the article to have something about traffic numbers.

• Added highest and lowest traffic counts. Dough4872 00:19, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• Was there any information about when the path actually began to be used, before it was designated PA 143, or how long it has been in use? Mainly want to see why Legislative Route 285 was designated in the first place.

• LR 285 was designated as part of the Sproul Road Bill in 1911 in which legislative routes were designated to improve roads. Dough4872 00:19, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• How much more road was built in the 1966 expansion?

• Added. Dough4872 00:19, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• Its total length should be included somewhere in the prose, as it is in the infobox.

• Added to route description. Dough4872 00:19, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

• Duplicate link tool returns no results. Dab links tool also reports no problems. Checklink tool shows all external links are functioning.

Nothing major to fix, as the road is relatively small and backwater. Putting the article on hold pending these improvements. —Ed!^(talk) 23:45, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, I have replied to the above. Dough4872 00:19, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Great work. Passing the GA now. —Ed!^(talk) 01:27, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I have serious concerns about this GAN review. The LR 285/Sproul Road Bill argument does not answer the request being stated. Legislative Route 285 does not genuine explain the beginning of the road. Hell, I know there is plank roads and turnpikes in Pennsylvania, and based on the way the article is written, very little research went into that history. I really think this article needs a second or third look by an uninvolved editor, because I am not sure this article is even of good quality. The entire sources is of maps, which has been a source of problems in the past, see Delaware Route 17.Mitch32^{(Victim of public education, 17 years and counting)} 04:26, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
