  • The map in the infobox is practically useless for those of us who don't even know where Kansas is, let alone Mankato. Is there a contextual image which could be used?

  • "The National Highway System is a system of highway..." self-explanatory really, and this seems like an odd juxtaposition to start explaining what this is about mid-article.
@ The Rambling Man:, I explained it because not all US Highways are part of the National Highway System. Also its usually described like this. 420Traveler ( talk) 15:27, 21 August 2020 (UTC) reply
