I have emailed UDOT, and am waiting for a response, but I can find no legal source that states that this is also BL-80. Yes, there are pictures and fan websites, etc, but as far as Utah Code and from what I can find on UDOTs website, I can find no legal definition.
I also emailed NDOT, because I was going to create a combined Wendover Blvd BL-80 article for both states, but I could not find a legal source stating it was a BL, and they said they cant even find the paperwork that would have needed to be sent to get the definition. As far as Nevada state law is concerned, Wendover Blvd between the state line and Alt-93 is just Local collector route #3003. They are attempting to contact
AASHTO, but they aren't getting anywhere fast. --Admrbâltz (

Barring the very minor prose issues which would be easier for me to fix than to list here, the article is very good. I rate it as a pass.

Oppose per established naming conventions listed above. Wendover Boulevard is a street name, not a city...and I also note that part of the route runs on Florence Way.

Support alternatives later like (Nevada - Utah) or something. If the whole of the route had the same alternate name, that'd work, but it don't.

Oppose per arguments above, and as the person who got this article to FA status. Wendover Blvd would be OK if this covered all of Wendover Blvd, but it does not. One could also argue that Wendover Blvd ends at Frontage Road in Wendover, UT, however the BL covers the ramps to/from I-80 north of Frontage Road. --AdmrBoltz18:50, 26 January 2020 (UTC)reply

The standard practice across Wikipedia (not just road articles) is if a highlighted object in a map is used to illustrate location, to use the color red. If two colors are required, typically the secondary color is blue. I'm not sure how that came to be, nor if it is formally codified or just tradition. However, it's fairly standardized across Wikipedia. Regardless, Green is not a safe color choice to highlight objects on a map, given red-green colorblindness is the most common type and almost all maps already use red for lines in the map.
