Looks decent, and I can see no major problems. However...

File:Route 122 West on US 22.jpg is more-or-less unusable. I'll try to fix it up in GIMP, though.
The history section strikes me as very dry, technical, and unreadable. I'm not sure what can be done about this, but I'd like to see some more general history information to accommodate the raw timeline.
- I added a couple of sentences and tweaked some wording, any other specific suggestions would be appreciated. ---Dough 48 72 02:08, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what makes http://www.jimmyandsharonwilliams.com/njroads/1920s/maps/1927tt1.jpg or http://www.nycroads.com/roads/I-78_NJ/ reliable sources.
- The first is a copy of a 1927 road map from Tydol Trais and is therefore reliable. I have replaced the second source. ---Dough4872 02:08, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, OK, but what about the other sources from jimmyandsharonwilliams.com? It seems like a self-published site to me. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:40, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - The first reference cites the state annual report, I can change the source if necessary. The second is a copy of a official map of the 1927 renumbering. ---Dough4872 03:08, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - Yeah, if possible, it would be better to cite the official link directly. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 04:33, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        I changed the reference. ---Dough 48 72 05:10, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On-hold for now. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:38, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing the article, I replied to the above comments. ---Dough 48 72 02:08, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Commentary[edit]

As someone who now lives in the area, it seems to me that the portion of this highway where it splits and has a wide median with numerous U-turns deserves much more detail, which unfortunately I don't have. All it says now is: "Past this interchange, US 22 has a wide median that contains numerous U-turn ramps." If you haven't driven on this road and attempted to go to any businesses located on it, you should, though I recommend taking out a hefty life insurance policy first as you may not survive if you do this during rush hour. This section of road surely must be some sort of crazy experiment in urban road design from the 50s or 60s, where someone thought it'd be a great idea for eliminating traffic lights, but completely failed to account for the fact that cars need time and space to merge safely into high-speed traffic. Surely there's some information out there on why this one section of US-22 is designed this way, and utterly unique in my travels across the country (utterly unique in its sheer dangerousness, I should add). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.142.44.112 (talk) 01:14, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I added a few words to mention the commercial businesses built in the median. This can be verified by observation and in satellite views on Google or Bing maps, so I doubt it needs a source. Why a highway was built this way is a good question for which we do need a source if anyone can find one. JoeBrennan (talk) 18:56, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone in there right mind tell me why is the town of North Plainfield putting sidewalks on Rt.22. I thought the highway budget was out of money. If the money is coming from local taxes, then the town of North Plainfield should have given more thought to a costly project like this. Who is going to use it? Who is going to shovel the snow? I saw a person walking in the highway this morning (10-14-16) right next to the sidewalk???? This is a total waste of tax payers money and the people who authorized it should be held accountable.....they must have relatives in the sidewalk construction companies!(Bob, Gracis Printing) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.225.62.16 (talk) 15:29, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
