Many of the interchanges in the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike exit lists include opening dates in the notes. Are there worthy of inclusion? Needforspeed888 ( talk) 05:40, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Ollhg87 first tried to update South Carolina Highway 769 to "40-769" leaving it a broken mess and unsourced name change (so I reverted), then they created South Carolina Highway 40-769 as a bad copy-paste move of the same.
I looked on google maps and it does now appear to be labelled 40-769 however I could not find a source.
So I just thought I'd post here so someone with interest/knowledge in the area can hopefully sort out and also introduce Ollhg87 to the existence of this project if this is an area of interest for them.

@ Imzadi1979 and SounderBruce: At your advice, I'll move the thread over here. SounderBruce did mass reverts of most of the highway shield graphics spam that had been done by AllThingsKC ( talk · contribs). I did so with several more cities that were not as easy to undo, all at tremendous waste of my time and energy. I removed and adapted some of it in Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City metropolitan area, leaving the new subsections for highways. and I'd appreciate it if you'd review the infoboxes and subsections of those two articles because you're saying there aren't any standard criteria for how many highways is enough or too much.

I found something poking around online for my ongoing Wikisource project, and I thought you might appreciate it. The memo attached to the back states:
In 1938 President Roosevelt personally drew the blue lines on the attached map to indicate the routes on which modern express highways should be built. The map is forwarded to you for deposit in the map library.
This modified wall map lead to an internal BPR report in 1938 that lead to Toll Roads and Free Roads in 1939 and various other reports in the 1940s and 1950s that gave rise to the Interstate Highway System. I'm working on transcribing many of those reports to Wikisource. Imzadi 1979 → 01:09, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
I noted above that the map spurred the creation of two reports, one internal to BPR and one public. The public report was the first in a quartet in advance of the creation of the Interstate Highway System, and I'm happy to say they're all fully transcribed/proofread on Wikisource now.
I also have started working on a trio of 1955 reports, including National Highway Program (February 22, 1955, a letter from President Eisenhower submitting the Clay Committee report, A 10-Year National Highway Program). Needs of the Highway Systems, 1955–84 (March 28, 1955) and Progress and Feasibility of Toll Roads and Their Relation to the Federal Aid Program (April 14, 1955).

I just recently updated the list of milepoints for U.S. Route 60 in Kentucky, as it has been rerouted some since the initial milepoints list was added.

to cases of {{

I see that Jk00190 has created maps for several Tennessee state routes (for example, File:TN_SR_53.jpg for Tennessee State Route 53). While KMLs would be ideal, having some sort of map is better than nothing, but ideally these should be in a vector format rather than as JPEGs. Does anyone with the time and resources have an efficient way to batch-convert these to SVG, while also updating the colors, etc., so that they would match the maps present at other route articles, or would creating the needed KML files be faster and ideal?

The most recent version of jctint templates for US states did mainly the following:
|region=
.The approach above has several drawbacks:
For the past few days, I have converted most of these templates to use Module:Jctint/USA to eliminate the drawbacks above. You might not have seen any observable changes to articles, because you shouldn't! I am happy to report that the module now handles jctint templates for 40 out of the lower 48 states.
Before I can go into what prevents the templates for the remaining 8 states from being converted, I need to go into some technical details about how |sub2_special=
was implemented for most states.
|location_special=
is used by default. Certain templates permitted multiple locations to be specified as |location1=
through |location4=
. These parameters are concatenated as a list of wikilinks that is passed to the core module as |sub2_special=
. Other templates did the same, but with townships instead of locations (see
Interstate 70 in Ohio). The module handles both: |sub2param=township
is used in the latter case; location is the default.
Now, why the templates for 8 states haven't been converted:
|sub1name=
(LA): Road data modules should handle this.|indep_city=
(CA, CO, and MD): Road data modules should handle this.|sub2_special=
(MN): A list of both townships and locations are permitted, but the module doesn't support cascading yet, though it can easily be done.|town=
(WI): It appears that town articles are not named consistently, e.g.,
Bristol, Dane County, Wisconsin vs
Bristol (town), Kenosha County, Wisconsin. So, I could not decide which one to use.For more details about handling by road data modules, see Template talk:Jcttop/core#sub1name order for an idea, and Module:Road data/strings/USA/NH for an example. This is a longer-term transition, but I would like to avoid adding a boilerplate in the module when this transition is anticipated. See also Template talk:Jct#Inheritance and overriding in road data modules.
During the conversion, I noticed a beginning of divergence in some of the templates. While most states use |mile_ref=
, some use |length_ref=
. Specifically, templates for AL, FL, OH, OR, and TX. This parameter should be deprecated and renamed to |mile_ref=
.
The module opens up other opportunities for uniformly customizing parameters for US junctions, e.g., cascading (above) and support for a list of cities. Additional customizations will not be implemented until there is evidence that they are useful for multiple states.
The templates are still fully backward compatible with the previous version, but the module might have added new features, e.g., list of locations, to some states' templates. These features have already been used in several other states' templates. I hope it is okay for every state's template to have the same leverage.
Of course, if you see any undesirable, observable changes, I will appreciate your report so I can troubleshoot. Constructive comments will also be appreciated. Chinissai ( talk) 15:45, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
Whatever happened to this? I ask because Module:Infobox road/sandbox2 got nominated for deletion. -- Rs chen 7754 03:50, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
I have created a couple new types for period shield usage and some new banners. Both types have to do with the 1971 MUTCD, which changed the size of banners and introduced the current USH shield design.
I also considered making an I 1978
type, but I will punt on that for now. The I 1971
type uses the 1961 shields and 1971 banners while I 1978
would have used the current shields and the 1971 banners. This was a period of transition so I don't think the 1978 type is needed now. Were the 1971 types needed? Probably not, but if we are doing period shields, we should try to get the banners right, too.
A keen eye will notice that the 1971 types use the "small" direction banners versus the first letter taller in use today. The small direction banners have been renamed 1971. For each of the color banner suffixes (blue, brown, county, and green) there is now a 1971 banner suffix for them as well (blue 1971, brown 1971, etc.). I did not add 1971 types for the state types because they've all come into use since the 1971 MUTCD. I created a California banner suffix, which is a sort-of combination of the 1961 and current MUTCDs. The yellow toll banner is now the default for the standard white and all the color banners mentioned above. The 1971 banner type uses the original color.
You can see all of the available banner plates at Commons:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Auxiliary plates.
If your states use the default options for shields, you shouldn't have to do anything to the road data modules. But if you have some custom shields (such as Michigan using the 1948 shields well into the 1960s), you might want to double check you have the right banners. If you see something goofy and don't know how to handle it, you can ask me here or on Discord. – Fredddie ™ 03:30, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Unreviewed featured articles/2020 (URFA/2020) is a systematic approach to reviewing older Featured articles (FAs) to ensure they still meet the FA standards. A January 2022 Signpost article called "Forgotten Featured" explored the effort.
Progress is recorded at the monthly stats page. Through 2022, with 4,526 very old (from the 2004–2009 period) and old (2010–2015) FAs initially needing review:
Of the FAs kept, deemed satisfactory by three reviewers, or delisted, about 60% had prior review between 2004 and 2007; another 20% dated to the period from 2008–2009; and another 20% to 2010–2015. Roughly two-thirds of the old FAs reviewed have retained FA status or been marked "satisfactory", while two-thirds of the very old FAs have been defeatured.
Entering its third year, URFA is working to help maintain FA standards; FAs are being restored not only via FAR, but also via improvements initiated after articles are reviewed and talk pages are noticed. Since the Featured Article Save Award (FASA) was added to the FAR process a year ago, 38 FAs were restored to FA status by editors other than the original FAC nominator. Ten FAs restored to status have been listed at WP:MILLION, recognizing articles with annual readership over a million pageviews, and many have been rerun as Today's featured article, helping increase mainpage diversity.
|
All received a
Million Award

But there remain almost 4,000 old and very old FAs to be reviewed. Some topic areas and WikiProjects have been more proactive than others in restoring or maintaining their old FAs. As seen in the chart below, the following have very high ratios of FAs kept to those delisted (ordered from highest ratio):
and others have a good ratio of kept to delisted FAs:
... so kudos to those editors who pitched in to help maintain older FAs !

In the coming weeks, URFA/2020 editors will be posting lists to individual WikiProjects with the goal of getting these oldest-of-the-old FAs reviewed during 2023.

Mississippi State Highway System says: Three-digit numbered routes from 700s to 900s are usually short connectors and spurs. (I wish we had a source on that, but this seems to be the same conclusion that AARoads has drawn). Given that many of these roads are unsigned and under a mile, and are considered to be of low importance, I propose that we merge these into three WP:USRD/RCS style lists. (This would not preclude splitting individual ones back out should one be more notable than the others - as with all RCS lists). This would affect 3 existing GAs. The existing list is at List of state highways in Mississippi#Highways numbered above 700. Rs chen 7754 03:30, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

I just happened on
this discussion from last year about histories of highway interchanges being included articles. I disagree with the conclusion; I believe that the history of any ramps are as notable as the respective mainline. This is especially true with the relative rarity of interchanges added to an established highway. Indeed, after checking
MOS:RJL, I noted this in the Tables section: "Notes: Any additional notes about the interchange or terminus, such as...opening date...."
Now, in full disclosure, what prompted me to comment was
this edit in particular, which knocked out a bunch of research that I did over a number of years. I've edited long enough here to know that I still have to keep
WP:OWN at the front of my mind, and that things like that are bound to happen. However, the two things about that which bother me the most are the fact that the edit summary states that the info should be in the history section, yet the info was removed rather than being moved there; and that one of the concerns from last year's discussion was about sourcing, yet the removed info was well sourced. (I have done similar edits on other articles, if maybe not as extensive. I haven't checked to see if those were reverted as well, and I'd rather not.)
As for the info being moved to the history section, I don't think that it would be a good idea, since with more than a couple interchanges, the prose would read like "this interchange opened this date and this interchange opened this date and this...", and if it were placed in a list, which really isn't recommended to start, it would essentially duplicate the junction list. Conversely, the cells in the junction table are already accounted for so any concise information wouldn't be unwieldly, and I don't believe that it would attract unchecked trivia. A statement could be placed somewhere in the respective history sections in the form of "Several interchanges were added after the initial opening; see the junction list below [anchor link] for details".
Note that at this point I haven't readded the info to the article(s), primarily because I don't want it removed again, but of course also because I'm awaiting further discussion.

This is a follow-up to the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Virginia State Route 665 which closed no consensus. I am concerned that the format of these kinds of articles is not particularly effective and borders on providing too much detail for routes that even the roadfan sites like [4] don't have information on. I am also concerned at the {{ incomplete}} tags on several of the pages and wonder if we can ever come up with a definitive list.
But that being said, I am hesitant to remove all coverage of such highways and apparently OSM is relying on us, so somebody is using the information. We could look at using bulleted lists similar to List of state highways in Maryland shorter than one mile (900–999), or we could have a smaller table that just lists the route and what counties it can be found in. Thoughts? Rs chen 7754 04:00, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Due to some recent edits to this WikiProject's banner on various article talk pages, there's been a sudden influx of redlinked (i.e. nonexistent) project categories showing up at Special:WantedCategories. Pages cannot be left sitting in categories that don't exist, but since the categories are template-generated the only way to remove them would be to revert all of the edits that were made, which might in turn screw up other things — which leaves creating the categories as the only alternative, but obviously they need to be created by people who have a clue what they're doing because they actually work with the subject area and know its category tree. Accordingly, could somebody associated with this project please look after creating the following categories as soon as possible so that they're no longer redlinked and can be cleared off the WantedCategories list?
There was one further issue which requires some attention, as the banner itself may have been changed in ways that messed with other stuff: the most recent run also included an obviously ridiculous Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of roads in yes (i.e. please take photographs in a geographic entity named "Yes"), which has already been emptied out — but upon investigation, it was being newly generated by preexisting usages of "photo=yes" code that had already been present on the affected talk pages for years without prior incident. So clearly this code previously served some other purpose, while suddenly changing within the past week to consider "Yes" the name of a state or city rather than the opposite of no — which means the template itself may need to be reviewed just in case a recent edit to it broke something.
I've found at least one additional redlinked category that resulted from using the abbreviation "TX" instead of the full name "Texas", and already exists at the form using "Texas" instead of "TX", so some of these other categories might potentially also be correctable coding errors rather than new categories — but whether they're created or just corrected, they unconditionally need to all be resolved as soon as possible.

A recent edit of mine to Interstate 80 in Iowa was reverted due to being “unsourced.” But as far as I can see, the edit was no different from what any other articles that list hospital access points do (use the shield and list the hospital it’s referring to in the description). I have no idea how I could source something like this. If we can’t have consistency, can the option just be deprecated? Molandfreak (talk, contribs, email) 02:37, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
In Ashland, US 60 eastbound follows 13th St until turning left onto Winchester Ave. Then, it turns onto 11th Ave, and continues right on Greenup Ave, at the western end of its concurrency with US 23. US 60 westbound follows Greenup Ave until 10th St, where it turns left and left again onto Winchester, before continuing on 12th St. However, the map linked in the article shows both directions meeting at the intersection of Greenup and Winchester Aves between 7th and 8th Sts, where you would have to make an illegal turn.

I not only live in Wilmington, I live directly on US 17. A quick glance of the NCDOT website reveals that the Military Cutoff Extension and Hampstead Bypass are separate projects which were combined only for the purposes of the EIS. There's still another project on US 17 itself through Ogden and Porters Neck, or between the Military Cutoff Extension and the interchange with the eastern terminus of the 140 corridor. The article I just read is dominated by primary sources and the local news media only ever regurgitates NCDOT's press releases, so that in itself is problematic.

On the Interstate 4 and 97 pages, their signs have no text on them, even when they are only in one state.

The Champlain Parkway is finally being built in Burlington, Vermont, but its future is tied into I-189. As a result, much of the I-189 article lists the future of this parkway, which is becoming a little confusing.

Hello, I would like a second opinion on a recent addition to Interstate 40 in Tennessee that I feel may not be an appropriate inclusion. I have already started a discussion about it.

Community Tech bot is configured to update a list of popular pages for the states/territories of this WikiProject each month, for example at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Louisiana/Popular pages. However, after {{ WikiProject U.S. Roads}} was changed to use {{ WPBannerMeta}} in March of this year, the bot has been unable to do so, so these reports haven't been updated in a few months. I'm guessing it's something to do with the way that each state is included in the template, as opposed to the way that something like {{ WikiProject United States}} does it.

As part of my attempt to expound upon the information on list of US Route page, I decided to experiment with listing the states served by the routes in a manner similar to the one we used for the Interstate highway list. The main problem with this is that the U.S. Route list is long because it combines all the routes (both main and auxiliary) to one page. There aren't nearly as many US routes as there are interstates, but there is more history attached to US routes and auxiliary US routes are WAY longer than their interstate counterparts. In order to make the listing of states served by U.S. routes a reality, I honestly think we should split the list into two articles with one for primary routes and the other for auxiliary routes. However, this would be a major a change that would affect not just Wikipedia project, but also the new AARoads Wiki. Therefore, I wanted to bring it here first before making a final decision.

Me and Washuotaku recently had a disagreement on the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway article about how specific we should be with listing towns in junction lists. I compromised on one of the two exits I changed, but we still don't agree on the other. The exit in question is the NC 66 interchange (exit 42). I say it should be Stanleyville because that community is designated right on the interchange. Listing most to all locations on maps, especially communities that have articles is a practice I take from contributing to the Severe Weather Project, especially when it comes to tornadoes. However, Washu believes that this is unnecessary since Stanleyville is an unincorporated community that is mostly located within the outskirts of Winston-Salem. Since the city limits of Winston-Salem include part of the interchange, they believe its best to just leave the location as Winston-Salem. Since we didn't want this to unnecessarily escalate into something bigger than it should be, we decided to bring it here. Should this interchange be labeled as Winston-Salem or Stanleyville? Additionally, how specific should we be when labeling locations in junction list of other articles? Chess Eric 18:08, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Ollhg87 first tried to update South Carolina Highway 769 to "40-769" leaving it a broken mess and unsourced name change (so I reverted), then they created South Carolina Highway 40-769 as a bad copy-paste move of the same.
I looked on google maps and it does now appear to be labelled 40-769 however I could not find a source.

In 1938 President Roosevelt personally drew the blue lines on the attached map to indicate the routes on which modern express highways should be built. The map is forwarded to you for deposit in the map library.
This modified wall map lead to an internal BPR report in 1938 that lead to Toll Roads and Free Roads in 1939 and various other reports in the 1940s and 1950s that gave rise to the Interstate Highway System. I'm working on transcribing many of those reports to Wikisource. Imzadi 1979 → 01:09, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

I see that Jk00190 has created maps for several Tennessee state routes (for example, File:TN_SR_53.jpg for Tennessee State Route 53). While KMLs would be ideal, having some sort of map is better than nothing, but ideally these should be in a vector format rather than as JPEGs. Does anyone with the time and resources have an efficient way to batch-convert these to SVG, while also updating the colors, etc., so that they would match the maps present at other route articles, or would creating the needed KML files be faster and ideal? Thanks. -- Kinu t/ c 02:46, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

The road projects have faced some challenges over recent weeks. While we remain separate projects, I believe we need to be able to work together during this time. Thus, I wanted to highight three recent changes to the methods of communication and collaboration that we have available to us.

The most recent version of jctint templates for US states did mainly the following:
|region=
.The approach above has several drawbacks:
For the past few days, I have converted most of these templates to use Module:Jctint/USA to eliminate the drawbacks above. You might not have seen any observable changes to articles, because you shouldn't! I am happy to report that the module now handles jctint templates for 40 out of the lower 48 states.
Before I can go into what prevents the templates for the remaining 8 states from being converted, I need to go into some technical details about how |sub2_special=
was implemented for most states.
|location_special=
is used by default. Certain templates permitted multiple locations to be specified as |location1=
through |location4=
. These parameters are concatenated as a list of wikilinks that is passed to the core module as |sub2_special=
. Other templates did the same, but with townships instead of locations (see
Interstate 70 in Ohio). The module handles both: |sub2param=township
is used in the latter case; location is the default.
Now, why the templates for 8 states haven't been converted:
|sub1name=
(LA): Road data modules should handle this.|indep_city=
(CA, CO, and MD): Road data modules should handle this.|sub2_special=
(MN): A list of both townships and locations are permitted, but the module doesn't support cascading yet, though it can easily be done.|town=
(WI): It appears that town articles are not named consistently, e.g.,
Bristol, Dane County, Wisconsin vs
Bristol (town), Kenosha County, Wisconsin. So, I could not decide which one to use.For more details about handling by road data modules, see Template talk:Jcttop/core#sub1name order for an idea, and Module:Road data/strings/USA/NH for an example. This is a longer-term transition, but I would like to avoid adding a boilerplate in the module when this transition is anticipated. See also Template talk:Jct#Inheritance and overriding in road data modules.
During the conversion, I noticed a beginning of divergence in some of the templates. While most states use |mile_ref=
, some use |length_ref=
. Specifically, templates for AL, FL, OH, OR, and TX. This parameter should be deprecated and renamed to |mile_ref=
.
The module opens up other opportunities for uniformly customizing parameters for US junctions, e.g., cascading (above) and support for a list of cities. Additional customizations will not be implemented until there is evidence that they are useful for multiple states.
The templates are still fully backward compatible with the previous version, but the module might have added new features, e.g., list of locations, to some states' templates. These features have already been used in several other states' templates. I hope it is okay for every state's template to have the same leverage.
Of course, if you see any undesirable, observable changes, I will appreciate your report so I can troubleshoot. Constructive comments will also be appreciated. Chinissai ( talk) 15:45, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
Whatever happened to this? I ask because Module:Infobox road/sandbox2 got nominated for deletion. -- Rs chen 7754 03:50, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
I have created a couple new types for period shield usage and some new banners. Both types have to do with the 1971 MUTCD, which changed the size of banners and introduced the current USH shield design.
I also considered making an I 1978
type, but I will punt on that for now. The I 1971
type uses the 1961 shields and 1971 banners while I 1978
would have used the current shields and the 1971 banners. This was a period of transition so I don't think the 1978 type is needed now. Were the 1971 types needed? Probably not, but if we are doing period shields, we should try to get the banners right, too.
A keen eye will notice that the 1971 types use the "small" direction banners versus the first letter taller in use today. The small direction banners have been renamed 1971. For each of the color banner suffixes (blue, brown, county, and green) there is now a 1971 banner suffix for them as well (blue 1971, brown 1971, etc.). I did not add 1971 types for the state types because they've all come into use since the 1971 MUTCD. I created a California banner suffix, which is a sort-of combination of the 1961 and current MUTCDs. The yellow toll banner is now the default for the standard white and all the color banners mentioned above. The 1971 banner type uses the original color.
You can see all of the available banner plates at Commons:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Auxiliary plates.
If your states use the default options for shields, you shouldn't have to do anything to the road data modules. But if you have some custom shields (such as Michigan using the 1948 shields well into the 1960s), you might want to double check you have the right banners. If you see something goofy and don't know how to handle it, you can ask me here or on Discord. – Fredddie ™ 03:30, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Unreviewed featured articles/2020 (URFA/2020) is a systematic approach to reviewing older Featured articles (FAs) to ensure they still meet the FA standards. A January 2022 Signpost article called "Forgotten Featured" explored the effort.
Progress is recorded at the monthly stats page. Through 2022, with 4,526 very old (from the 2004–2009 period) and old (2010–2015) FAs initially needing review:
Of the FAs kept, deemed satisfactory by three reviewers, or delisted, about 60% had prior review between 2004 and 2007; another 20% dated to the period from 2008–2009; and another 20% to 2010–2015. Roughly two-thirds of the old FAs reviewed have retained FA status or been marked "satisfactory", while two-thirds of the very old FAs have been defeatured.
Entering its third year, URFA is working to help maintain FA standards; FAs are being restored not only via FAR, but also via improvements initiated after articles are reviewed and talk pages are noticed. Since the Featured Article Save Award (FASA) was added to the FAR process a year ago, 38 FAs were restored to FA status by editors other than the original FAC nominator. Ten FAs restored to status have been listed at WP:MILLION, recognizing articles with annual readership over a million pageviews, and many have been rerun as Today's featured article, helping increase mainpage diversity.
|
All received a
Million Award
|
But there remain almost 4,000 old and very old FAs to be reviewed. Some topic areas and WikiProjects have been more proactive than others in restoring or maintaining their old FAs. As seen in the chart below, the following have very high ratios of FAs kept to those delisted (ordered from highest ratio):
and others have a good ratio of kept to delisted FAs:
... so kudos to those editors who pitched in to help maintain older FAs !

But looking only at the oldest FAs (from the 2004–2007 period), there are 12 content areas with more than 20 FAs still needing review: Biology, Music, Royalty and nobility, Media, Sport and recreation, History, Warfare, Meteorology, Physics and astronomy, Literature and theatre, Video gaming, and Geography and places. In the coming weeks, URFA/2020 editors will be posting lists to individual WikiProjects with the goal of getting these oldest-of-the-old FAs reviewed during 2023.
Ideas for how you can help are listed below and at the Signpost article.
More regular URFA and FAR reviewers will help assure that FAs continue to represent examples of Wikipedia's best work. If you have any questions or feedback, please visit Wikipedia talk:Unreviewed featured articles/2020/4Q2022.

Mississippi State Highway System says: Three-digit numbered routes from 700s to 900s are usually short connectors and spurs. (I wish we had a source on that, but this seems to be the same conclusion that AARoads has drawn). Given that many of these roads are unsigned and under a mile, and are considered to be of low importance, I propose that we merge these into three WP:USRD/RCS style lists. (This would not preclude splitting individual ones back out should one be more notable than the others - as with all RCS lists). This would affect 3 existing GAs. The existing list is at List of state highways in Mississippi#Highways numbered above 700. Rs chen 7754 03:30, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

I just happened on
this discussion from last year about histories of highway interchanges being included articles. I disagree with the conclusion; I believe that the history of any ramps are as notable as the respective mainline. This is especially true with the relative rarity of interchanges added to an established highway. Indeed, after checking
MOS:RJL, I noted this in the Tables section: "Notes: Any additional notes about the interchange or terminus, such as...opening date...."
Now, in full disclosure, what prompted me to comment was
this edit in particular, which knocked out a bunch of research that I did over a number of years. I've edited long enough here to know that I still have to keep
WP:OWN at the front of my mind, and that things like that are bound to happen. However, the two things about that which bother me the most are the fact that the edit summary states that the info should be in the history section, yet the info was removed rather than being moved there; and that one of the concerns from last year's discussion was about sourcing, yet the removed info was well sourced. (I have done similar edits on other articles, if maybe not as extensive. I haven't checked to see if those were reverted as well, and I'd rather not.)
As for the info being moved to the history section, I don't think that it would be a good idea, since with more than a couple interchanges, the prose would read like "this interchange opened this date and this interchange opened this date and this...", and if it were placed in a list, which really isn't recommended to start, it would essentially duplicate the junction list. Conversely, the cells in the junction table are already accounted for so any concise information wouldn't be unwieldly, and I don't believe that it would attract unchecked trivia. A statement could be placed somewhere in the respective history sections in the form of "Several interchanges were added after the initial opening; see the junction list below [anchor link] for details".
Note that at this point I haven't readded the info to the article(s), primarily because I don't want it removed again, but of course also because I'm awaiting further discussion.

This is a follow-up to the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Virginia State Route 665 which closed no consensus. I am concerned that the format of these kinds of articles is not particularly effective and borders on providing too much detail for routes that even the roadfan sites like [4] don't have information on. I am also concerned at the {{ incomplete}} tags on several of the pages and wonder if we can ever come up with a definitive list.
But that being said, I am hesitant to remove all coverage of such highways and apparently OSM is relying on us, so somebody is using the information. We could look at using bulleted lists similar to List of state highways in Maryland shorter than one mile (900–999), or we could have a smaller table that just lists the route and what counties it can be found in. Thoughts? Rs chen 7754 04:00, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Due to some recent edits to this WikiProject's banner on various article talk pages, there's been a sudden influx of redlinked (i.e. nonexistent) project categories showing up at Special:WantedCategories. Pages cannot be left sitting in categories that don't exist, but since the categories are template-generated the only way to remove them would be to revert all of the edits that were made, which might in turn screw up other things — which leaves creating the categories as the only alternative, but obviously they need to be created by people who have a clue what they're doing because they actually work with the subject area and know its category tree. Accordingly, could somebody associated with this project please look after creating the following categories as soon as possible so that they're no longer redlinked and can be cleared off the WantedCategories list?
There was one further issue which requires some attention, as the banner itself may have been changed in ways that messed with other stuff: the most recent run also included an obviously ridiculous Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of roads in yes (i.e. please take photographs in a geographic entity named "Yes"), which has already been emptied out — but upon investigation, it was being newly generated by preexisting usages of "photo=yes" code that had already been present on the affected talk pages for years without prior incident. So clearly this code previously served some other purpose, while suddenly changing within the past week to consider "Yes" the name of a state or city rather than the opposite of no — which means the template itself may need to be reviewed just in case a recent edit to it broke something.
I've found at least one additional redlinked category that resulted from using the abbreviation "TX" instead of the full name "Texas", and already exists at the form using "Texas" instead of "TX", so some of these other categories might potentially also be correctable coding errors rather than new categories — but whether they're created or just corrected, they unconditionally need to all be resolved as soon as possible.

In Ashland, US 60 eastbound follows 13th St until turning left onto Winchester Ave. Then, it turns onto 11th Ave, and continues right on Greenup Ave, at the western end of its concurrency with US 23. US 60 westbound follows Greenup Ave until 10th St, where it turns left and left again onto Winchester, before continuing on 12th St. However, the map linked in the article shows both directions meeting at the intersection of Greenup and Winchester Aves between 7th and 8th Sts, where you would have to make an illegal turn.

I not only live in Wilmington, I live directly on US 17. A quick glance of the NCDOT website reveals that the Military Cutoff Extension and Hampstead Bypass are separate projects which were combined only for the purposes of the EIS. There's still another project on US 17 itself through Ogden and Porters Neck, or between the Military Cutoff Extension and the interchange with the eastern terminus of the 140 corridor. The article I just read is dominated by primary sources and the local news media only ever regurgitates NCDOT's press releases, so that in itself is problematic.

Community Tech bot is configured to update a list of popular pages for the states/territories of this WikiProject each month, for example at Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Louisiana/Popular pages. However, after {{ WikiProject U.S. Roads}} was changed to use {{ WPBannerMeta}} in March of this year, the bot has been unable to do so, so these reports haven't been updated in a few months. I'm guessing it's something to do with the way that each state is included in the template, as opposed to the way that something like {{ WikiProject United States}} does it. I'm not super experienced with WikiProject templates, but just wanted to bring this up for awareness. DanCherek ( talk) 15:41, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Is there a consensus that "Interstate" should be capitalized if it doesn't refer to a specific route, e.g. "the Interstate passes through five states"? Bneu2013 ( talk) 23:21, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
In the past, signage of US 52 in South Carolina was in line with North Carolina, especially near the border. However, as of late, spot checks on several major intersections in the state are actually showing an east-west designation. The article is setup in a north-south alignment, but it may be time to convert it to an east-west alignment now. The question is do others agree with this assessment? -- WashuOtaku ( talk) 12:44, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
I just removed a source that had been used for two areas in the Interstate 35 in Texas due to the "archived from" link leading to something that was...interesting to say the least (check it at your risk). I kind of hope it was just something wrong with my computer, but can someone look into what the heck happened there? I would really appreciate it. Chess Eric 21:42, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

I added a topic to the I-895 talk page about possibly changing the shield in I-895's article infobox from I-895 to I-895 Toll but there have been no comments about it. Can I please get some feedback? I would really appreciate it. Chess Eric 19:16, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

As part of my attempt to expound upon the information on list of US Route page, I decided to experiment with listing the states served by the routes in a manner similar to the one we used for the Interstate highway list. The main problem with this is that the U.S. Route list is long because it combines all the routes (both main and auxiliary) to one page. There aren't nearly as many US routes as there are interstates, but there is more history attached to US routes and auxiliary US routes are WAY longer than their interstate counterparts. In order to make the listing of states served by U.S. routes a reality, I honestly think we should split the list into two articles with one for primary routes and the other for auxiliary routes. However, this would be a major a change that would affect not just Wikipedia project, but also the new AARoads Wiki. Therefore, I wanted to bring it here first before making a final decision.

Me and Washuotaku recently had a disagreement on the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway article about how specific we should be with listing towns in junction lists. I compromised on one of the two exits I changed, but we still don't agree on the other. The exit in question is the NC 66 interchange (exit 42). I say it should be Stanleyville because that community is designated right on the interchange. Listing most to all locations on maps, especially communities that have articles is a practice I take from contributing to the Severe Weather Project, especially when it comes to tornadoes. However, Washu believes that this is unnecessary since Stanleyville is an unincorporated community that is mostly located within the outskirts of Winston-Salem. Since the city limits of Winston-Salem include part of the interchange, they believe its best to just leave the location as Winston-Salem. Since we didn't want this to unnecessarily escalate into something bigger than it should be, we decided to bring it here. Should this interchange be labeled as Winston-Salem or Stanleyville? Additionally, how specific should we be when labeling locations in junction list of other articles? Chess Eric 18:08, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Although the FHWA doesn't reflect this, SCDOT officially dedicated a northward extension of I-585 in 2006. This was, for some reason, not added to that article, which was two years old at the time. I believe we need to rectify this situation now. Chess Eric 00:19, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
I'm not sure who makes shield, but we need to make some for future routes that don't have them. They include I-14N (Texas), I-14S (Texas), I-214 (Texas), I-344 (Oklahoma), and I-335 (Oklahoma). Chess Eric 18:40, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
I propose merging Little Ferry Circle to U.S. Highway 46, since the circle doesn't even exist anymore, and it is a stub article, so there isn't much more to say about it. See the discussion on the talk page. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 21:43, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
I propose splitting the WP:AASHTO table by decade. The current layout of the table is very, very long (and will only get even longer) and is quite difficult to navigate. Splitting the table into sections could save several seconds finding a particular AASHTO report. AlphaBeta135 talk 18:07, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Hey all! Just letting you know I've finished most of the Draft:U.S. Route 83 in South Dakota page. The only thing I haven't done yet is add a major intersections box, since I'm still stumped by it. If any of you are willing to help, I've put the link right above. Thanks! NoobThreePointOh ( talk) 19:01, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, there is a request to merge U.S. Route 19 in Tennessee into U.S. Route 11E in Tennessee; here is the talk page for it. I am opposed to it, but you are free to pick which way this should go or suggest a third option (possibly merge back into US 19 main article). I had to reverse a recent edit though from another editor, who supports the merge, on US 19 flagging it as not notable. I noted that by definition, all U.S. Routes are notable; the article is simply lacking love from the community is all. Please share your opinion, thank you. -- WashuOtaku ( talk) 19:27, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure who makes shield, but we need to make some for future routes that don't have them. They include I-14N (Texas), I-14S (Texas), I-214 (Texas), I-344 (Oklahoma), and I-335 (Oklahoma). The last two are of the up most urgency since the OTA will be adding these shields to the Kilpatrick and Kickapoo Turnpikes within the next two months. Chess Eric 22:06, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
Is it true that categories for "state highways" must include all highways maintained by the state department of transportation, even if they are also part of the Interstate Highway System or United States Numbered Highway System?

The western end of Interstate 20 in Texas is located at an uninhabited place called Scroggins Draw, Texas. The article for that place is being discussed for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scroggins Draw, Texas. The location seems to have some notability as the place named for the western terminus of Interstate 20, but being generally unfamiliar with highway articles, I am not able to point out sources that use that place name. Is there someone here who can identify a few reliable sources for that location in their list of highway references? RecycledPixels ( talk) 22:06, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
