I present to you the County-Designated Highways in Michigan, a unique system of county-maintained roads in the state. I feel that this is one of the most comprehensive and best researched lists and histories of this system available online, or in print, and it's at least worthy of review if not promotion here.

Review by Dough4872:

  1. Is it necessary to have two CDH markers in the infobox when one can convey the message?
  2. The zone map in the infobox looks good, but do you think we can get a map that shows both the zone designations and the routes?
  3. You should add the total length of the CDH system to the infobox.
  4. Do we need the abbreviations for Interstate, U.S., and state highways when this article is about the CDH system?
  5. The total length of the CDH system should also be mentioned in the lead and the prose.
  6. "As of 2015, no counties in the E zone have assigned roads to the system, and many counties in the other zones have yet to participate", can this be updated for 2016?
  7. When mentioning the zone borders, maybe should mention national, state, and lake boundaries for people who aren't familiar with the geography of Michigan.
  8. You should add sources for the Notes in the table.
  9. You should add some additional historical context in the table for the CDHs that were formerly US or state highways, specifically what years they had the former designation. Dough4872 03:00, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Replies:

  1. I switched one out for another one.
  2. @Fredddie: if you can make a map, that would be great. Otherwise, for now, what we have is great and mirrors what MDSH had in their original log of the CDHs, and what was published in the Holland Evening Sentinel article.
  3. Added.
  4. Dropped.
  5. Added.
  6. Once MDOT publishes the 2016 map, yes, I can change that year reference.
  7. I'm not sure what you want here, Dough4872. The lakes and various political boundaries don't really factor into the zones because they'd form the outside edges of the state's two peninsulas.
  8. Added.
  9. Added.

Regarding the zone boundaries, I would word it like "The A zone is bordered by I-96 on the north, Indiana and Ohio on the south, Lake Michigan on the west, and US 127 on the east." so the readers aren't left guessing what forms the southern and western border of the A zone boundary.

@Dough4872: added. Imzadi 1979 → 03:07, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support - The list looks good and meets the criteria. Dough4872 03:10, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support My only comment is that it says "as of 2015", so just make sure you update to as of 2016 when you get an updated source. Otherwise it's fine to me! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:41, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support - "Zones boundary highways highlighted in red" -> singular zone? Other than that, I couldn't find any issues. --Rschen7754 20:23, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch, got it fixed a little while ago. Imzadi 1979 → 20:47, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Source review

The sources are reliable and spot checks have shown the information claimed in the article is correct; no copyvios have been found. Just one problem with the refs that needs to be sorted:

  • I get an error message on FN21 relating to the MDSHT1971 ref

– SchroCat (talk) 09:03, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SchroCat: an errant letter has been removed, which should resolve that. Imzadi 1979 → 09:06, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that. All else looks good so I'll promote in a few hours, when I come back online. – SchroCat (talk) 09:21, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
