  • The lead should not need to be cited. Please ensure the info from the lead is elsewhere in the prose and remove the references from the lead.
  • You have several dead links. See the link checker.
  • Route markers, except for the lead infobox marker, since they are all text icons should have |alt=|link= added to them to suppress the links.
  • Lengths should be cited in the infobox.
  • Move the image from the lead. Text should not be squished between a picture and an infobox. It also pushes the TOC down.
  • "As of November 2010, the toll charged on the single tolled A7 section at Rupa mainline toll plaza varies depending on vehicle type and ranges from 7.00 Croatian kuna (0.95 euros) to 29.00 kuna (3.92 euro) for semi-trailer trucks.[10]' - toll prices should not be added to articles as the info is subject to change rapidly, and can quickly become out of date.
  • In the first half of the 2010, their toll revenue was 188.2 million kuna (25.3 million euros), although sheer disproportion of lengths of the tolled sections suggest that most of the toll revenue is generated on the A6 rather then this particular motorway." - Sounds like WP:SYNTH.
    • Actually a single source reports the revenue. The latter part is simply a comment on comparative length of tolled sections of the routes operated by Autocesta Rijeka-Zagreb (legislation provides that roads in Croatia must be tolled proportionally to their length - that is if they are tolled at all). How do you suggest I should proceed here? Maybe rewording this a bit to explain this situation and its consequences on the revenue or simply to state the revenue and say what it really consists of?--Tomobe03 (talk) 13:16, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • I would state the revenue and what it consists of, but I would also mention that the A6 is much longer (cite it) and let the reader do the SYNTH on their own. --Admrboltz (talk) 16:33, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        •  Done slightly differently. I found a commercial bank news service portal reporting an income figure for this toll plaza (the only one on the motorway) for 2008 and a TV news report saying specifically that revenue generated by the toll plaza (Rupa) is virtually unchanged in past two years - therefore I reworded and reorganized the paragraph a bit.--Tomobe03 (talk) 12:10, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Rječina Bridge, a 210 metres (690 ft)" = add |adj=on to the convert template.
  • The Orehovica interchange sign image - does this really enhance the viewers knowledge of the highway. Maybe move the lead image down to where this one is and drop this image.
  • "Further construction" header → "Future"
  • "A7 traffic volume details' table - drop the shields. Also since there are only three data points, maybe this is best covered in prose and not a table.
