Welcome to the Colorado State Highways Task Force of WikiProject U.S. Roads!

Scope and goals

All state-maintained highways in Colorado, including all Interstate Highways, U.S. Highways, and Colorado state-numbered highways, and any other road-related transportation articles of note. The goal is to organize, standardize, and expand the articles on highways in Colorado to be a broad, comprehensive, and recognized resource.

Structure and standards

Articles should follow WP:USRD/STDS.

Naming convention

Articles should be titled "Colorado State Highway X" per WP:USSH.

Shields

The various shield graphics are located in Category:Colorado road signs 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 Colorado for most highways
• Category:Interstate Highways in Colorado for highways that are also part of the Interstate Highway System in the state
• Category:U.S. Highways in Colorado for highways that are also part of the U.S. Highway System in the state

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=CO|type|number}} into the article. If two to four highways are needed, use {{jct|state=CO|type|first number|type|second number}}. Types can be I for Interstates, US for US Routes or CO for state routes. Further instructions can be found on the documentation page.

Stub

Use {{Colorado-road-stub}}
