Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as state highway in Pennsylvania, US. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
