Structure and standards

Naming convention
Articles should be titled "New Mexico State Road X" per WP:USSH.
Shields
The various shield graphics are located in Category:New Mexico State Road shields on Commons. {{jct}} can create the various links to highway articles with the appropriate shield graphics for use in the infobox or junction lists.
Categories
Articles should be placed in the following categories as appropriate:
- Category:State highways in New Mexico for most highways
- Category:Interstate Highways in New Mexico for highways that are also part of the Interstate Highway System in the state
- Category:U.S. Highways in New Mexico for highways that are also part of the U.S. Highway System in the state
- Category:Transportation in X County, New Mexico for each county the highway traverses.
Templates
Infobox
Use {{infobox road}} or {{infobox road junction}} as needed for articles. The state parameters should contain the state's postal abbreviation. The type codes are the same as for the junction template below.
Junction template
Use {{jct}} to create the entries in a junction list section for the article, or the junction list in the infobox. To use, insert {{jct|state=NM|type|number}} into the article. If two to four highways are needed, use {{jct|state=NM|type|first number|type|second number}}. Types can be I for Interstates, US for US Routes or NM for state routes. Further instructions can be found on the documentation page.
Stub
Use {{NewMexico-road-stub}}
