The goal is to organize, standardize, and expand the articles on highways in Colorado to be a broad, comprehensive, and recognized resource.

=Infobox=

Use {{tl|infobox road}} or {{tl|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.

Use {{tl|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.
