done for now

[edit] Square green signs

Just an aesthetic comment, but I find it a scandal that the only SGS seen in this article's photos is the one in the background on the I-93 signs. Anyone got a good example handy? If not, it shouldn't be hard for any of us here to go snap one. - Cheers, PhilipR 05:23, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unnumbered routes

"Massachusetts state road" and "Massachusetts state highway" are redirecting here, so this article should have a canonical list of state-maintained roads (or pointers to such lists). I'm getting these started right now, but we'll likely need to check with some state authorities to verify we haven't missed any. -- Beland 01:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• I found some excellent sources, which I added to the "External links" section of the article. -- Beland 02:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

There are literally hundreds of state-maintained roads without numbers: [1] --NE2 03:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Format, route north/west & south/east termini

The table, in my opinion, is pretty awful. I really like the format at the Virginia state highways list. Perhaps, instead of the routes bunched up like they are with no indication of where they are, a simple four-column table with Route name, North/West Terminus, South/East Terminus, and Length in Miles?Anderfreude 04:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Added Yankee Division Highway

I added the above to the list of named routes. I'm not 100% sure about which routes. Here is the link: http://www.bostonroads.com/roads/MA-128 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ppierce365 (talk • contribs) 04:06, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
