"about 697 miles (1,122 km) of the highway system in New York, with 339.6 miles (546.5 km) of state roads and 357.4 miles (575.2 km) of county roads", but
the ref says 330.6, where have the extra 9 miles come from? Also this will affect the total.
- Recalculated and fixed.
"including New York State Route 192 (now part of New York State Route 86,[7] New York State Route 427 (now part of New York State Route 73, and New York State Route 86A (also part of NY 73)." You have three open parenthesis and only one closing one.
- Fixed.
- Fixed.
"The lowest is CR 2" lowest? makes it sound like it is the one of least height above sea-level or something. Similarly for highest.
- Reworded
I think it looks quite messy when the roadnames seperate from the icons they are next to wrap onto the next line. Can you force the names & icons to stay in one row.
- Fixed. (Templating is not my thing).
Consistency issues between tables. First has header "Locations" the other "Towns crossed", first is sortable, second isn't.
- Fixed.
- When sorting buy route in the first, I'd expect US 9, and NY 9N to sort above "NY 910K" or am I wrong there.
- Its going by order of importance of the designations (Interstates (87), U.S. Routes (9), Touring Routes (9N), and Reference Routes (910K)),
- No, its going in order of functionality and importance, which NYSDOT follows.
- What I'm saying is when you click the
by "Route #" the order given is shown in the collapsible box. I'm saying shouldn't NY 9N go before NY 910K when listing alphabetically. I'd also argue that US 9 should go before that, basically shouldn't it sort by the numbers of the roads.

What is the order of the Locations listed?
- By order in which they are approached. I clarified that in the article.
- These are two-way roads, approached from which direction? And say so in the list.

- You seem to have clarified this with
this edit so I'll strike this now.

Does the order merit sortability considering it is only the first being sorted by?
- The sortability should be for the first, second and third. However, I can't fix that.
-
- The length obviously is sortable for learning's sake, and so is when they were designated, the other two would make it hard.

- Sorry we had completely crossed wires here. I thought you were saying Location should be sorted by "the first, second and third". I now realise you were talking about which columns should sort. Anyway I'm fine with this.

Ref 1 and have 2 New York State Department of Transportation as publisher, and others have it as author making it come first in the ref. Be consistent, I think publisher is better too.
- Fixed.
You should use <ref name="1926 map">[[Bureau of Public Roads]], [[:Image:1926us.jpg|United States System of Highways]], November 11, 1926</ref> one the first occasions and <ref name="1926 map"/> on all others. Similarly for references named "jimapco" and "quad86".
- Fixed.
What is the point of
these 4 links that redirect to this article, i.e. just refresh the page.

- More things
You should add class="unsortable" to the Notes column.
- Done.
Why the missing years in the first table?
- There is no official documentation to when the reference route system was first started, and the reference routes without them are just completely unsure of. 915K was recent, and thus has a referenced year.
- Done.
Similarly why do 915F and 915K link to
Interstate 87 which has no mention of either.
- Done.
Reading above comments I'm not happy with your answer to Dough4872's question "Can lengths be added for the county routes?". There is no
WP:DEADLINE, and Warren was promoted over a year ago. Additionally would it be possible to also add years?

- Then there will be over 88 yahoo maps references, and will be a massive eyesore. As for the years, county routes are hard to come by as jurisdiction is not controlled. We can be sure that they were in by 1969, (For almost all of them, but we cannot be inconsistent. Also, the New York State Department of Transportation and Essex County Highway Department do not use the same highway designations, so its really hard to tell when which was established. Warren itself is another 80 and also would be an eyesore.

- Lots of references won't be an eyesore. You can make the reflist into multiple columns. For example
this recent FL which has 92 refs.

- Not sure my comments are needed here but I didn't see it mentioned and I think a legend to tell the readers what the meaning is of the different signs are for clarification. I also recommend if you cannot determine the distances then put an emdash centered in the cell like you did for the first table. That way the readers won't think that the table is incomplete. --

I am done, this was a major headache, and now instead of 15 sources, there are 104 - meaning 89 sources. Wow. I hope this now gets your support.

- Well done. I'm really do see that as an improvement to the list. I have struck the oppose, but would like the possibility of numerical sorting (my only unstruck bullet point) to be discussed/implemented before giving my full support.
