From Wikipedia:WikiProject Highways, "Structure":

My primary idea is to make highway articles as navigable as (and in some cases more navigable than) the highways themselves. The easier for a user to explore a highway system the better. In a really good system, users can enjoy virtual road trips. Continue discussion on the talk page. --Spikey 02:54, 28 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I don't know if you've seen it, but the 400-Series Highway might be a good place to start for this, at least for Canadian highways :) Adam Bishop 20:25, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

New Zealand highways have portions varying from one-lane bridges to multi-lane, multi-level urban extravaganzas.

"State Highways" are largely government-funded. See various items of legislation with names starting "Land Transport ...".

Even they show a great range of physical forms, eg the Northern Motorway out of Dunedin is part of State Highway No 1 but is just two lanes most of the way, with no median barrier.

Is this the sort of discussion-starter you want?

I was planning to do something with Australian Highways, particularly ones that are a part of the National Highway, and ones in Tasmania (I don't know enough about the others!). A format similar to this:

Still needs a bit of work.. not sure whether to use green text, white text in a green box, or replace the green letters with actual shield graphics. The letters themselves just don't seem to look right. Comments? --Chuq 13:42, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

• Green numbers are clear and good. Shields would be fantastic unless one's browser couldn't handle them! :robinp 21:19, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Glad to see you like it! I've done an alternate version of the table below (showing branches along the way). I'm just hoping it doesn't look too bad on smaller resolutions (i'm on a 1600x1200 screen now) --Chuq 21:44, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Is this the right place to discuss US Interstate issues?

I noticed that pages about interstates have a heading called 'Number of miles'. I want these pages to have metric equivalents so that non-US readers understand. A 'Number of miles' heading does not make sense with km. It should be something like 'Distance' or 'Length'. I notice that there are a *lot* of road pages and they are very non-metric. Is there a place to discuss the issue of standard headings etc?

This is in response to something I noticed after someone had tried to move Capital Beltway to Interstate 495. I posted to Talk:Capital Beltway, but perhaps this is a better forum for a general discussion. Briefly, some articles on tertiary interstates have a single article that discusses all the separate routes, sometimes containing links to separate articles on specific routes if warranted. Other articles use the interstate route number as a disambiguation page with separate articles for each of the routes (which sometimes do not even have standard Interstate nnn titles).

I would like to see the former as the standard. Note: I'm NOT suggesting that we move Capital Beltway to Interstate 495--rather Interstate 495 would no longer be a disambiguation page and would include info about all the routes with a link to the Capital Beltway article for more details. However, the Capital Beltway article would not be included in Category:U.S. Interstate Highway system. Any comments? older≠wiser 17:37, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I think in time, all articles about Interstates will become long enough to deserve their own article. Thus, something like I recently did with Interstate 295 is appropriate IMO. --SPUI 10:52, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I've moved Wikipedia:WikiProject Highways to the Inactive section of the WikiProject page, as it hasn't been edited since Nov 1st; I wanted to let you all know, and ask if you're still working on it. If so, feel free to move it back up into the active section. JesseW 08:22, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I didn't know this existed until now; I've definitely been doing stuff that would fall under it. I support this if only to thwart the deletionists. --SPUI 10:52, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I've done a few Florida State Roads, for example Florida State Road 15. The 'major roads intersected' section satisfies one of the goals of this project, making it possible to take 'road trips' from one article to the next. --SPUI 10:52, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Yet another I've experimented with is at U.S. Highway 9 - this is based on a railroad format I first saw at Northeast Corridor.

There exist many alternate, business, bypass, and more exotic spurs of US highways. There is often more than one of a certain name/number. I suggest using {parent} {banner} ({unique identifier}), like U.S. Highway 1 Alternate (Jacksonville). --SPUI 10:52, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Is there any particular way to best present the state and local roads and highways which are below the U.S. Highway XX level ? I realize that the terminology and numbering/designation varies. widely from state to state (and province?). I have been thinking, for example Virginia Highway 5, or VA-5 in the case of my home state of Virginia. Vaoverland 12:24, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)

For Florida, the terminology is fairly obvious; everything is referred to as State Road XX or SR XX. So the articles are Florida State Road XX; and references in other articles are SR XX. The problem is with other states. We should probably be using the terminology the DOT uses, adding the state name in front of it, and expanding abbreviations like SR. There are some problems with some states though. For example, Maryland uses MD XX. Maryland XX doesn't particularly seem right. Maybe the word Highway should be added in those cases. Or maybe MD XX is good. --SPUI 13:44, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I am active in the WikiProject Disambiguation. There are many abbreviation-titled disambiguation pages that contain several highway references. I've recently done an edit series on one such disambiguation page, A1, which stimulated discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) (see "Revision of "A1" based on "Manual of Style (disambiguation)"" section). I do think that consistency in the treatment of highway disambiguation is useful and think that this WikiProject might be the appropriate place to address this in order to establish and maintain such consistency. My proposal as to the method of treatment is embodied in the A1 article and the referenced talk-page topic. Thank you for your input and further discussion. Courtland 14:00, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

• Other articles: A2, A20, A24 road, A3, A350 (disambiguation). To make more clear my suggestions, the anatomy of a disambiguation line for a highway should be (in my opinion):

{road name} {parenthetical country} ", an/a" {road type} "connecting" {start} "to" {end}
{road name} {parenthetical country} ", connecting" {start} "to" {end}
