If you are interested, there is already a community of users who are roadfans or who edit articles about roads, just like you! Stop by any of these WikiProjects—WP:HWY (worldwide), WP:AURD (Australia), WP:CRWP (Canada), WP:INR (India), WP:UKRD (United Kingdom), or WP:USRD (United States)—and contribute. If your interest is in roads in the United States, there is an excellent new user's guide. There is a wealth of information and resources for creating a great article.

A helpful tip
When editing articles that use jct, the location# parameters are only needed if a full link is needed. The city# parameters will link to a city in the same state as the highway. In other words, will link to "Lansing, Michigan" and "Detroit, Michigan" (because MI ), but if we needed to link to "Toledo, Ohio" as well, we have to add   The numbers at the end of the parameter indicate the place in the order, and they're mutually exclusive. Listing a city1 and a location1 won't work, but a city1 and a location2 will.  Imzadi 1979  →   21:15, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * In my examples, I probably should have made it clear; you can have up to 4 cities, 4 locations, or some combination of either. So you could have city1 location2 city3 location4, or whatever as needed as long as the number isn't repeated.  Imzadi 1979  →   00:49, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, it bears noting, we don't include cities as destinations unless they are listed on the primary guide signs. For the I-94 exit on US 23, I-94's control cities are Chicago and Detroit, so Jackson is not properly included. Secondary signs may list additional destinations, like Lake City for the M-55 exit on US 127, but we wouldn't include them in the Destinations column. We might add some of them in the Notes, especially for well-known attractions like a state university or a theme park. Major airports could be in either column depending on how MDOT chooses to sign them.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:06, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Please stop inserting cities or other locations not listed on the guide signage for intersections or interchanges.  Imzadi 1979  →   09:03, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
