GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
I tweaked one sentence that was quite awkward and did not quite match the article tonally, on traffic counts. Also, WP:USRD/STDS suggests that links for US highways that are piped be in the form "US 55", not "US-55" (i.e. no hyphen), which I've changed.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
Mentioned this on your user talk, but please clip newspaper citations when you can and use {{cite news}}. I would have required you to do it if I had not done it already. Earwig tool brings up very little close paraphrasing aside from a low-quality content farm page, copying the article, that can be tossed.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
Editor is substantially the only contributor since August.
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

@Raymie: You are right that most states there is no hyphen. But in Kansas, the road articles use them as shown in the infobox. 420Traveler (talk) 05:22, 8 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

@420Traveler: Is there a particular reason for this? I would not have known myself, it's not mentioned in the relevant standard, and it's not current KDOT practice, though I do now see it on other Kansas pages. Perhaps this is worth mentioning to the WikiProject to figure out if this should be continued. Raymie (t • c) 07:18, 8 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Raymie: Im not exactly sure of the reasoning, just that it was KDOT practice. That would be a good idea to mention it there, so we can get input from others.420Traveler (talk) 13:57, 8 October 2020 (UTC) All it says on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (U.S. state and territory highways) in the notes is that "Hyphenation varies by state at this time" but it doesnt say what states. 420Traveler (talk) 14:13, 8 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
