Lead: You should not just use abbreviations for DE with the state roads, but expand this. Not everyone is going to be a local and understand that DE is an abbreviation for Delaware.
In the first sentence I have defined "DE x" as standing for "Delaware Route x". This is standard practice in mot road articles. Dough487221:46, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Lead: "The route runs west through residential areas of Long Neck before heading north through rural areas..." The text doesn't state where the description here begins... the southern or the northern terminus?
Lead: "DE 23 is concurrent with DE 5 between the DE 24 intersection in Long Neck and Fairmount and with DE 24 Alternate (DE 24 Alt.) between Hollymount and the DE 1D intersection in Five Points." a bit complex, can we break this into two sentences perhaps?
History: Is there no record in newspapers/etc of the various improvements to this route? I realize it's small but surely we can pin down the dates for the various changes a bit better than by using "by (date)" and sourcing this to maps...
Image - caption - suggest rewording to "A view of Delaware 23 heading south from the intersection with DE 1D in Five Points."... which is more descriptive and less jargony.
I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.
