Structure

See WP:USRD/STDS for the preferred structure of this project's articles.

Naming conventions

All articles are to be named "U.S. Route x". For articles that cover a segment of a longer U.S. Routes in a specific state, state-detail U.S. Route pages are to be named "U.S. Route X in Y". (where X is the route number and Y is the state name)

If more than one route of the same number exists then a disambiguation page needs to be made for that U.S. Route at "U.S. Route X". The separate routes are then given their own pages, disambiguated by state.

Browse numbered routes

Routes with state sub articles

Type the following code at the bottom of the article after {{US Highways}}.

{{start srbox}}
{{end box}}

In between the start and end templates, the state browse templates should be added. These templates exist in the form

{{XX browse|previous_type=|previous_route=|route=|next_type=|next_route=}}

where XX is the two-letter abbreviation of the state in lowercase (California is ca, New York is ny, etc.).

Routes without state sub articles

In this case, the state browse templates should go into the infobox.

Type the following code at the bottom of the infobox under |browse=

|browse=
{{XX browse|previous_type=|previous_route=|route=|next_type=|next_route=}}
