1. On the current Wiki page, the two example images seem to have their text and images reversed. Specifically, the left red box and the text makes sense, but the image inside seems to belong in the box on the right. And the image on the right seems to belong in the red box on the left. I would also recommend after fixing the box/image coordination that the green box be on the left to start with the correct recommended drawing and put the incorrect one on the right.

2. I know there are many exits in California that have not yet had their BGS updated to reflect the assigned exit numbers yet. We went through most of the freeways to update the exit names to include the assigned exit numbers in preparation for the sign change so we didn't have to try to track updates, but in cases where the exit number is not on any BGS this proposal for only using the exit number might lead to some confusion. Maybe in that case, add the crossing street name to the area.

3. Some states use the A/B references in the exit number to identify the direction from the freeway (east vs west or north vs south). For those states, I think it is fine to exclude the A/B in the exit name here or allow it with "Exit 403A/B". However, some states use the A/B/C/D to differentiate separate interchanges which are within one mile of each other. In those cases you would need the A/B/C/D reference to be included. Maybe that is the intent of the current description, but I could see how it could be misinterpreted.

Here is the Places page with Good on the left and Bad on the right.
