Article recognition:

	A fact from this article was featured on the Did you know? section of the U.S. Roads Portal in March 2012.

N. Rolling Road

Somebody with more familiarity with that segment should fill in the rest of the route description. I wish Baltimore County posted HLRs that could be used to fill in the entire roadway, not just the MDOT SHA-maintained portion. -TheOneKEA (20080924 03:09 -0500) —Preceding undated comment was added at 02:11, 25 September 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Rolling Road → Maryland Route 166 – This article has been rewritten to focus more on MD 166 rather than Rolling Road. V C 14:48, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support - The route number should take precedence. Dough 48 72 18:16, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Why? Shouldn't the most common name take preference per WP:UCN (use common names)? — AjaxSmack 20:49, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - The focus on the article is more of MD 166 than Rolling Road. Not all of MD 166 is called Rolling Road. Dough 48 72 21:17, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - There are other instances of Rolling Road, such as SR 638 in Fairfax County, Virginia, which is a suburban arterial highway. It is not inconceivable the Virginia route could have an article. Using the route number avoids the headache of having to move the article again when Rolling Road has to be made into a dab page, which is likely not only due to different highways named Rolling Road, but also because a different case version, Rolling road, redirects to a railroad article.

Support per VC's reasoning. Since the article is now focusing about the state highway, that designation should be the name as it is both the common and official name of the subject. Imzadi 1979 → 19:31, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A very small portion of the route has the 166 designation. The name Rolling Road is actually split between different routes, and the main one does not have the designation. Sebwite (talk) 01:58, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- But the article is focused on MD 166, including the part that is not Rolling Road. Therefore, Rolling Road would be a misleading title. Dough 48 72 02:03, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I could take the North Rolling Road information out of the article. That would solve your issue. V C 02:13, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Rolling Road, including the north section, is notable. There are sources describing the road's history, including the origin of its name. Sebwite (talk) 03:10, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
