Talk:U.S. Route 30 in Iowa

Posting for clarification before an edit is made, but I don't believe the eastbound access to Business 30 at mile marker 181 technically qualifies as an exit; the access is closer to that of an at-grade intersection. Comments are welcome. Modor (talk) 09:21, 22 September 2017 (UTC)Modor

:Did you mean mile marker 201? MM 181 is the west side of Marshalltown, which is totally an exit. Anyway, on one hand, there's a left hand turn lane, and on the other, it's grade separated. I see your point that it's not really an exit, but regardless it's where the business route begins and should be included in the table. –Fredddie™ 10:55, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

In the right hand sidebar, I note that U.S. 69 is not listed. Since all other U.S. highway junctions are mentioned, should this one be as well? Or is it omitted because its more urban that rural? Modor (talk) 08:55, 23 April 2019 (UTC)Modor

:{{ping|Modor}} per WP:USRD/STDS, we observe a hard 10-junction limit in the infobox. There are currently 10 junctions, not counting the termini, so it can't be listed under those standards. As to why US 69 was picked over other options to get the listing under the limit, I can't say further. Imzadi 1979 → 09:19, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

::US 69 was not picked because of its proximity of I-35. There's no vendetta against US 69. –Fredddie™ 10:48, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you both for the information. I was just making sure it wasn't an oversight. Modor (talk) 19:41, 23 April 2019 (UTC)Modor

I am reviewing this (old or very old) FA as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to determine whether old featured articles still meet the featured article criteria.{{pb}}

In March 2021, and again in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Fredddie/Archives/2021&oldid=1061497316#u.s._route_30_in_iowa_2 December 2021], there were indications of deficiencies in this article. If those have not been corrected, the article should be submitted to WP:FAR. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:59, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
