Section North of Columbus wrong
editThis section is just plain wrong. US 23 is not an expressway north of Lewis Center. The only part of U.S. 23 in Delaware County that is an expressway is a short section through downtown Delaware City, from the start of the concurrency with U.S. 42 on the south side of Delaware City, to the intersection of Pennsylvania Ave north of Delaware City. U.S. 23 from I-270 (north of the trench) is a four lane divided road with all interchanges at street level with traffic signals, and mostly commercial properties with driveways on both sides. This is even what is shown on the map that is referenced in this section. Unfortunately I only know this through first hand experience as I live here. But I believe that I can make this change as it is confirmed by the actual item referenced. Plmerry (talk) 00:52, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Plmerry: I'm sure that a current Google Maps citation and/or a current ODOT paper map would support any changes you'd make, so even if they're technically drawing on your personal experience, you have a source to back you. In short, be bold and edit away! Imzadi 1979 → 01:14, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
- The problem is @Plmerry needs to ensure they has their terminology correct. Yes, US-23 doesn't begin to have any control of access until it hits Delaware as opposed to Lewis Center, but through Delaware, US-23 is a FREEWAY (Controlled-Access Highway) and not an EXPRESSWAY (Limited-Access Highway). North of Delaware, US-23 reverts to an uncontrolled access highway for a stretch, but then resumes its EXPRESSWAY (Limited-Access) status just north of the Delaware Dam at Delaware State Park. From there to Carey, US-23 is either EXPRESSWAY (Limited-access: no driveways, but some crossroads) or FREEWAY (Controlled-access: No driveways, no traffic lights, no cross-traffic, only interchanges). Because of the confusion over the terms FREEWAY, EXPRESSWAY, CONTROLLED-ACCESS and LIMITED-ACCESS, I actually created a page on my website to explain the terms: www.michiganhighways.org/indepth/controlled_access.html. I hope that helps. CBessert (talk) 22:05, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
References need work
editMany links in the reference section need to be replaced as the Ohio DOT (ODOT) has changed its website. I will be checking to see if I can find the correct links at some point. Plmerry (talk) 00:53, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
