field).@ SounderBruce: Hello and thanks again for doing this review. I didn't realize it was the first time a GA nom has been done for an East Asian road, so my hat is off to you for taking the plunge. I've been working on this off/on throughout the week, so some of the changes might seem a bit random, but it's a work in progress. I wanted to address your concern about the orientation of the writing. Roads in Japan aren't marked in any particular order. When the government (national or prefecture) creates a highway, they designate one terminus as a "start point" or 起点 and the other as the "end point" 終点. A lot of the time they follow patterns (all of the national highways that have a terminus at Nihonbashi, the country's default kilometer zero point, are said begin there and end wherever they go whether it be Osaka to the west, Sendai to the north, etc.) I follow whatever the government says is the 0 point and write from there; howevver there are a few frustrating cases like the related Shimokita Expressway article where the government is inconsistent about this (the older section has kilometer posts starting from zero in the south, but the newest section signs the kilometer posts from the north). For national highways, the start and end points are indicated on the government document that is cited as Citation 10. On bypasses, most of the time a bypass is a newer alignment of a road that bypasses a neighborhood or sometimes a whole town, but usually the original alignment is transferred back to local maintenance as is the case for the Nimaibashi Bypass I mention in the history section, but not for the Mutsu Bypass and Shimokita Expressway where both the original route and the bypass are designated as Route 279.

@ SounderBruce: I think after the edits I've made recently I'm ready for you to look over this article again. The only major thing I could see myself doing after sending this is updating the source that talks about the historic routes. There's a book [1] at the prefecture library I want to get my hands on that I suspect will have more a more definite date for the establishment of the Tanabu-kaido, but the wintery condition of the roads here are keeping me from accessing it.
