The table has been left incomplete. For any park roads without articles, I intentionally left the termini blank. They're listed in the Highway Designation Files, but there isn't a good indication of direction on the termini
The lengths are not all consistent in precision, which follows the information given in the HDFs. In fact, some of the existing articles have had their lengths padded with trailing zeros to imply three digits of precision, yet the HDFs don't specify that.
TxDOT assigns a name to each of these in the HDFs. We can add a local names column to the table which would then display those names. I'll leave it up to other editors if they'd like to add that.
According to the HDF, the first PR 22 was designated in 1940, but then it was deleted in 1939. I faithfully copied the error into the table since that is what the source says. If someone knows who to contact at TxDOT to get a correction in the HDF for PR 22, that would be awesome. Otherwise, our other option is to find a different source with dates that make sense.
Everything else:
Someone will need to write a description of the overall Park Road System.
We'll also need some sort of history section written.
Once we have those prose sections written, this will be eligible for a DYK nomination, if desired.
Even if there isn't a DYK nomination, someone will then need to summarize the two prose sections and create a lead.
The date the system was created should be added to the infobox. At the same time, someone could tally up the lengths of the existing PRs and insert the total into the infobox as well.
Create pages or a list of park roads with description and major junctions list[edit]
Apparently someone who redirected the park roads back to themselves on this page decided to be lazy rather than creating articles for the routes or a list of them with route descriptions and major junctions lists for each one. That is now a top priority for these and to help eliminate the red links under this backlog. Dylpickle2k (talk) 19:59, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
