Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/North Carolina

The purpose of this WikiProject is to create, standardize, and improve articles about the state highway system in North Carolina. This project will encompass all the North Carolina State Routes (on diamond-shaped shields), the U.S. Routes and Interstates that are predominantly North Carolinian (like US 158) and any other unusual routes in the state (like Charlotte 4); important named freeways are also included (like Bryan Boulevard).

{{todo}}

If there is a North Carolina road-related article you would like to see created, add a request for it below:

• Lowest numbered stub: North Carolina Highway 21

:Other stubs can be found at :Category:Stub-Class North Carolina road transport articles

If there is any other North Carolina road-related article that already exists but you would like to see it cleaned up or expanded, add it below:

These places are usually very helpful in finding termini and road lengths:

• [http://www.ncroads.com NC Roads] (now defunct, but mirror of info can be found at the [http://www.vahighways.com/ncannex/route-log/ annex].)-This should only be used as a guide as NCRoads is not a reliable source.
• [http://www.vahighways.com/ncannex/route-log/ NC Roads Annex]
• [http://www.state-ends.com/ncends/state/ State Ends - NC Routes]

The structure can vary a little, but it should basically look like the format prescribed by WP:USRD/STDS.

Articles should be named "North Carolina Highway n" (where n is the route number).

A redirect page should be made for each NC route where if I search for "NC 8", North Carolina State Highway 8 should pop up. If there is already a article for the redirect page like in the case of NC 4, make a disambiguation page or a tag at the top of the article.

The WikiProject's Completion List will show any redirects that need to be made. (links with no shield at the beginning of the line are routes that don't exist) (currently under development)

Route shield SVGs should be named "NC n.svg". Most shields have already been made and can be found in the category North Carolina Highway Shields at Wikimedia Commons

:Category:State highways in North Carolina

The category is sorted numerically by the place of the hundreds digit. The convention is

xxx

where xxx is the route number of the highway you're editing. 1- and 2- digit numbers get leading zeros; thus North Carolina State Highway 6 is categorized as 006. There are a few exceptions like with NC 226A; in those cases, you can just do this:

226A

This category will help you find articles that have been created and need to expanded: :Category:Southern United States road stubs

Infobox and instructions for use are located at Template:Infobox road.

{{NorthCarolina-road-stub}}

• These should be placed at the bottom of the route articles that need more details.
• Articles with stubs will automatically be entered into :Category:Southern United States road stubs.
