State Route 74 (New YorkâVermont) is a
featured article; it (or a previous version of it) has been identified as one of the best articles produced by the
Wikipedia community. Even so, if you can update or improve it,
please do so.
This article is within the scope of the U.S. Roads WikiProject, an attempt to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to
state highways and other major
roads in the
United States. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the

"Both were then supplanted by New York State Route 73, which remained intact until it was truncated to US 9 and Route 74, which was once used in Western New York, was moved onto this routing." - split this sentence. "56 merges in soon after." - better to have CR 56; it's more formal, and state routes are usually called Route X in prose. "12 miles" should be converted to kilometers.
Some things (Fort Ticonderoga, seasonal ferry) are mentioned in the intro without being explained in the body of the article. Is this area a city? Rural? Suburban?
Not really a reliable source, its missing needed information and its not clear who is publishing the information. Please reply.Mitch32(

All right... it's worth investigating further, especially if that webpage ends up being the company's official page. â

Several citations are incomplete in the article. Map citations are missing correct authorship attribution, they're missing scale indications, publication locations and in-map locations. For the latter, not every map has grid sections, but if they do, they need to be indicated just as we need to list a page number for a book.
As for book citations, at least one is missing a page number, and several are missing publication locations. ISBN or OCLC numbers (preferably both if possible) should be added to citations to aid readers searching for the sources in libraries. Clicking through to Google Books and then "find in a library" brings up the WorldCat record for a source, enabling us to look up missing information quickly, and
add it to a footnote.
That, like every other state highway in the U.S., and every other public highway elsewhere in the world (not limited to those with national-level designations; we have plenty of articles on Canadian provincial highways as well, a few of which have also been featured on the Main Page), it is part of the public transportation infrastructure, built and maintained with the public's tax dollars, much like public rail networks and airports.
