@ Calidum, Imzadi1979, and Dlambe3: Since none of you are discussing beyond the edit summary why you are edit warring, I will go ahead and start a discussion. -- Rs chen 7754 07:00, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
Railroad building was not modernity's last assault on the American continent. In the late 1950s, the federal government embarked on the construction of the interstate highway system [ sic]: I-90 now roughly parallels the railroads as it approaches and leaves Missoula. A four-lane, controlled-access highway is a much broader and more massive structure than a railroad.(italicized text is what is repeated in other works)

Opinions requested on what to do with this recently added section. I do agree that the urban protests and re-routings in urban areas need some amount of coverage in this article; it would not be complete without it. However, the way the section is currently presented leads me to say this isn't the right way. Can I get some opinions on what we should do?
Here's my thoughts:
My eventual vision for this article is to have a history and criticisms section that details with major urban changes where we have significant media coverage. I have found sources for the changes in the DC and Baltimore areas. There's a lot of coverage about the protests over the I-95 routing through Overtown (Miami), the cancelled I-480 in San Francisco, the cancelled freeways in Portland, and the former central artery in Boston. And if/when I get off my duff and dedicate more time to Wikipedia, this is where I was planning to take this article. Dave ( talk) 18:03, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
The existing maps are certainly very helpful, but there are some improvements that could be made:

This article seems fine to be upgraded to GA-class. It's lengthy yet understandable and is able to capture the reader's (at least my) mind. It most likely has all the criteria to upgrade to GA-class. I've seen much smaller FA articles. Kevon kevono ( talk) 23:11, 2 May 2016 (UTC) (What the hell is UTC?) 16:09 (PT)

In the article, you present:"Numbers divisible by five are intended to be major arteries among the primary routes, carrying traffic long distances."
yet you don't seem to state that correct. You see, I-5 is a north-south route, yet I-10 (which is divisible by 5) is an east-west route. Don't you mean "Numbers ending in 5 are intended to be major arteries..." You contradicted your information with inaccurate data that didn't seem like it was researched well.

It seems that that one don't exist.
Also, how come some are contained within a state, such as
i-2 and
i-4 ? I mean : why are they labeled as interstate highways ? --
