thread_title: Bowtie

message: Is this real ?  The present article does not mention a specific bowtie junction and though the picture/diagram is clear how it could work, there is no photo of an existing bowtie.
The only "reference" and three of the four external links (four ex-links, a bit too much) all point to PDF's. The only ref and all ex-links are all clearly not dedicated to this sort of junction but have a more general subject.
Also the one supposed ref is not really valid as a reference on Wikipedia, with solely the text "Jonathan Reid, P.E.: Unconventional Arterial Intersection Design July 2004, P. 66-67, retrieved on 9 February 2013". By whom? and where? was it published and why should we trust? the unknown publisher and the supposed writer Jonathan Reid?  After seeing this mess, it did not surprise me to see that this only ref  is now a very dead link. And three of the four external links are also dead (completely dead or redirected to a non-relevant page).
I am really shocked that on the en-wikipedia nobody seems to care about the above mentioned issues (I have to say/dare to say this now because there were allready many reactions on this talk page about minor issues, so people were seeing that this page is not impeccable, yet they chose to only react on minor issues). Though Bowtie (road) is surely not the most important article, we still have to care for the quality of Wikipedia. This article evidently is not acceptable in the present state.
