Title

WikiProject Highways

Scope

This WikiProject aims primarily to standardize the format used in articles about highways, including freeways, expressways, throughways, and other major forms of road. A major part of this is the connectivity of highways and the analogous conectivity of their articles. The scope and aims of this project are likely to change in this early stage.

Parentage

The parent of this WikiProject is the WikiProject Transport.

Project organization

This project sets the standards for countries that do not have a country roads WikiProject yet. These standards are intended to be loose so that they are applicable worldwide.

In addition to this, this project sets a few standards for country roads WikiProjects that do exist, to ensure uniformity across all highways articles.

Structure of articles

Each article should have a routebox (infobox) and a lead section.

The use of lists is discouraged; prose or tables should be used when more appropriate.

Route description

Each article should have a prose description of the route. One uniform direction should be followed; for example, in the United States, all route descriptions progress from south to north and from east to west.

History / Future

Where applicable, each article should have a history section and / or a future section, describing past and present affairs of this route.

Junction list / Exit list

Each article should have a list of junctions, or where applicable, a list of exits. This is not just a list; it needs to be in a table format. Exit lists need to follow WP:ELG as well.

Naming conventions

U.S. roads are to be named as prescribed at WP:USSH.
