Moriguchi Route

  • ... that the Moriguchi Route in Osaka has a mini rest area on one of its entrance ramps? Source: "森小路ミニパーキングエリア 12号守口線(森小路入口すぐ)" [1]

  • ALT1: ... that the Moriguchi Route in Osaka was created in preparation for the Expo '70 world's fair? Source: "万国博関連事業としての道路整備事業は、昭和45年3月15日の開会日までに完成させなければならない。官民一体の協力態勢によって昼夜を分かたぬ工事が続けられ、その結果、大阪守口線(現・12号守口線)などで一部未完成の区間が残ったものの、ほぼ予定に近い形で整備を終えることができた。" [3]

  • Article length is fine and reliably sourced, nominated within the time and no copyvio found. QPQ done. The hook does not look catchy as every highway seems to have a rest area. Besides there is no mention of "rest area" in the article as used in the hook. The article talks about a "parking area" instead. Please try to find a better hook or tweak the article as per the references.  MehrajMir (talk) 05:06, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
  • @Mehrajmir13: Thanks for catching that wording error. I've added a hook that is a reworded version of the original plus a different hook entirely. Back to you. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 00:18, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Both hooks are now verified. ALT1 looks more appealing.  MehrajMir (talk) 04:46, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
  • The images in the source show a toilet and a vending machine. This is known as a rest area, not a "parking lot". The fact that it's located on the entrance ramp, rather than an exit ramp, is quite hooky. I'm going ahead and promoting ALT0. Yoninah (talk) 00:09, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
