Project:WikiProject Australian Roads

WikiProject Australian Roads maintains and improves articles related to roads and road transportation in Australia, excluding topics related to vehicles. This scope covers all road-related articles within the Roads in Australia category structure, but only some of the articles within the wider Road transport in Australia category.

• {{green|Some examples of road transportation articles inside the project scope are Australian Road Rules, Black Spot Program, and Speed limits in Australia.}}
• {{red|Articles in various subcategories of Road transport in Australia such as :Category:Motorcycles of Australia‎, :Category:Bus transport in Australia‎, and :Category:Cars of Australia‎ are outside the project scope.}}
• {{red|Articles on fictitious roads are outside the project scope.}}
• {{red|Articles on temporary uses of roads, such as street circuits, parades, protests, and fun-runs, are outside the project scope.}}

The key points in the mission are explained below:

• continually improve – There is no endpoint for the project, as roads are continually being built, upgraded and extended.
• coverage – Here coverage refers to both quality of coverage and breadth of coverage.
• Australian roads – The project mission is directly related to its scope. Articles outside of the project scope should collaborated on at a more appropriate venue.
• on Wikipedia – Improving Wikipedia is the core reason for editing Wikipedia. All of the projects articles and edits should be consistent with Wikipedia's principles, policies and guidelines.
• through collaboration – This refers to both inter-editor collaboration within this project (through discussion and shared resources), and inter-project colloboration (working with the other projects / task forces within WikiProject Highways and WikiProject Australia).

Long term goals are:

• Improve articles and lists to featured status
• Complete coverage of national and state highways and major roads (no important redlinks)

Medium term goals are:

• Develop standards and guidelines for Australian road articles (to complement existing Wikipedia-wide guidelines)
• Get at least one article to GA status for each state and mainland territory

Short term goals are:

• Identify editors who may be interested and ask them to join
• Tag and assess all articles within the project scope (see the projects Assessment page)
• Develop project resources, to be listed and explained on the Resources page
