The highway was constructed between July 1941 and June 1942, but was trafficable by January 1942. - trafficable by what?

Is that really necessary? Surely in the context of a 20th century highway trafficable refers to vehicles? Note also that the source only describes it as trafficable without specifying by what. - Evad37 [talk] 00:26, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

I guess trafficable can mean by any car or by some cars (such as 4WD only), but it is moot if source doesn't specify. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:52, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

I see your point now, but as you say its moot due to the source not specifying - Evad37 [talk] 01:57, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

link saltbush

to the set index article saltbush, or is it reasonable to assume Atriplex? - Evad37 [talk] 00:26, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

I think Atriplex is more accurate link. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:52, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Eyre Highway has a mixed performance in terms of road safety, compared to other major highways in Australia. - not sure this sentence adds anything. I'd let the two following sentences speak for themselves...

link limestone outcrops

Limestone or outcrop?

I think outcrop there - could link limestone separately there or make a case for IAR link at second mention a couple of sentences on to avoid run-on bluelinks of consecutive words. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:52, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Done, with limestone linked at the second mention (avoiding consecutive links is actually in the MOS – WP:SEAOFBLUE) - Evad37 [talk] 01:57, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

link bitumen

Done - Evad37 [talk] 00:26, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
