[edit] Cleanup needed

This article needs some cleaning up in the main section. I find no evidence that the southern terminus is at SR 7 in Steubenville, but rather at US 22 (freeway portion) in Wintersville. I have adjusted the infobox to reflect this, but the article itself needs adjusting as well. Will address this later on when I have more time. — Homefryes ^Say•_Do 17:16, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maps

Maps available online show 43 continuing through to S.R. 7...perhaps we need someone from Steubenville to comment to see if these maps are accurate. --JonRidinger 19:06, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

You're correct; I don't know how I missed that. I've corrected the infobox to reflect. — Homefryes ^Say•_Do 10:45, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Direction change

I was just reviewing my pictures, and noticed that 43 is north-south from Streetsboro southward but east-west in Solon and Warrensville Heights. I want to say that the direction change happens in Aurora at SR-306, but it could also happen at the Portage/Geauga or Geauga/Cuyahoga county lines. Mapsax (talk) 21:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I seem to remember that it changes somewhere near Geauga Lake's Wildwater Kingdom, which is near both the Geauga/Portage and the Geauga/Cuyahoga county lines. I don't think there's a clear place where it officially changes. I do know that in Aurora, the road is "North Aurora Road" and "South Aurora Road" (between 306 and the Geauga/Portage line) so 43 there is signed north-south for sure. I always assumed it was at the Geauga/Cuyahoga line, but that was just an assumption on what I saw on the signs. Coming from Aurora, by the time it hits SR 91 in Solon it is already signed as east-west. --JonRidinger (talk) 00:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

With the marker installation/replacement blitz within the last year, the change might be clearer now. Mapsax (talk) 18:12, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

(Self-reply) It's actually more ambiguous now. Going northwest, the last "NORTH" is on the overhead sign in front of the west corner of old Geauga Lake park (41.34961,-81.37975), after the Portage/Geauga line; the first "WEST" is in front of the new Steak 'n' Shake (41.35686,-81.39087), just before the Geauga/Cuyahoga line. It might be in a state of flux, since all the signs with "NORTH" had all the letters the same size, while all the ones with "WEST" had the newer-style larger "W". I guess we can check back periodically. Mapsax (talk) 02:46, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
