Criticize my first big PCB

Hello all,

Don't blame on me if you see something stupid. Below are attached the layers of a 160x114 mm PCB that I'm working now. It's a big PCB for me, since I've always worked with small projects. I'm doing this mainly for educational purposes, to get involved with SMD components, different packages, get to know some new products, learn how to draw a medium scale PCB from schematics. I don't intend to put into production, but I intend to make it real. It's about a DC motor controller for 90-130VDC motors that probably you've heard me talking about it in some of my previous posts. I have drawn the high current traces by myself (you can see some copper pours), and let the autorouter make some signals traces. The dashed line that you see is to indicate a separation between high and low power. Those ICs in the line, all of them, have isolation. They are optocouplers, isolated gate driver, isolated DC/DC converter, and galvanic isolated hall current sensor. If you strictly need deep details about the project to advice me on something more specific, let me know. I know I might be exaggerating the project idea of a simple DC motor controller, but don't take that into account.
