I don't know if this should be discussed here, but as these are secondary routes and are prone to repeating in differing jurisdictions, perhaps we should list them as "State Secondary Routes"/"SSR" rather than just "State Routes" to provide what I feel is a necessary differentiation. I understand such a nomenclature is in use in Missouri articles on SSRs (the S in their case meaning Supplemental). What do you think? — WhosAsking 02:22, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Virginia Highways#Ambiguity in the new naming rules. They are known as State Routes, not State Secondary Routes. -- NE2 02:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Would it be a good idea to use "major road" templates for the counties that have them? This way, the information would only have to be updated in one place. Forcing updates in 2 places is error-prone.
The counties (that I know of) that have templates so far are: Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William -- Tim Sabin ( talk) 16:56, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
I think it would benefit the project more if this list were not a list. I think one article to explain the secondary highway system would be of greater use than trying to list every route. Missouri supplemental routes is a good analogy to what this should be. – Fredddie ™ 05:19, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of secondary state highways in Virginia's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I have moved [1] the below from the article to here because the table is malformed and most of it is apparently about a different road Virginia State Route 6. I have discussed with the editor who added it at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions#Help with Wikitable but I haven't figured out what he wants. PrimeHunter ( talk) 10:09, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Has anyone seen, or does anyone live in an area that has, five-digit highways? I'd love to see either a photo of or a graphic representation of such a shield. Do the numbers get smaller or does the circle get replaced by an oval, as in Mississippi state highways? YellowAries2010 ( talk) 12:59, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
There is duplication in ALL counties, and many counties have over a thousand routes. Unlike many other lists, this one can reach truly ridiculous lengths, with tens of thousands of entries possible (maybe even hundreds of thousands). Given that, it would be best for Wikipedia if someone did more research on each county's individual route entries, and worked on transitioning this list to county-level lists of their respective SSR's.
