Lede

• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede of this article adequately defines Virginia State Route 175, establishes Virginia State Route 175's necessary context, and explains why Virginia State Route 175 is otherwise notable.
• The info box for the Virginia State Route 175 is beautifully formatted and its content is sourced within the prose of the text and by the references cited therein.
• The map of Virginia State Route 175 is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0 and is therefore acceptable for use here in this article.
• The lede is otherwise well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no further comments or questions for this section.

Route description

• Consider also including an inline citation to the USGS topographic map for this area, as an additional reference. I've included the citation for both quadrangles that cover SR 175 below:
  • Chincoteague West Quadrangle – Virginia – Accomack Co (Map). 1 : 24,000. 7.5 Minute Series (Topographic). United States Geological Survey. 1965. OCLC 25151198.
  • Hallwood Quadrangle – Virginia – Maryland (Map). 1 : 24,000. 7.5 Minute Series (Topographic). United States Geological Survey. 1968. OCLC 28492197.
  • Added references. Dough4872 01:04, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
• The image of the Whealton Memorial Causeway between the mainland and Chincoteague is licensed CC BY-SA 2.0 and is therefore acceptable for use here in this article.
• The first mention of SR 175 in the main prose beginning in this section should begin with at least one mention of the highway by its full name: Virginia State Route 175.
  • Added. Dough4872 01:04, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
• This section is otherwise well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no further comments or questions for this section.

History

• This section is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no comments or questions for this section.

Major intersections

• While this table is beautifully formatted, I suggest including an inline citation at the header of each column so that all its content is properly sourced.
  • Added refs to headers (the km header does not get a ref since it is a conversion from the miles, which is referenced). Dough4872 01:04, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

SR 175Y

• This section is well-written, consists of content that is adequately sourced and verifiable, and I have no comments or questions for this section.
