Category:Maryland State Highways
Malformation of Category:Maryland state highways. I made the new category and moved the one article. This is now an empty orphan. &mdash; Sortior 22:38, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
 * Oppose, I think, based on how it works in Florida. The original agency was the State Road Department, and they maintained the State Road system. State Road is always in caps in Florida, at least in the legal definitions designating the roads, and I believe most other places. I don't have enough info in Maryland, but the agency is the State Highway Administration. They call them 'MD XX' on their site, but this is likely not the legal name, and anyway, we wouldn't call the category List of MD's. So I'd say keep the caps how they are. --SPUI 01:24, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * The difference is in the capitalization of collective nouns versus proper nouns. The correct form is Florida State Route 1 which is a proper noun.  But the correct form is Florida state routes for the collective.  Sortior 06:09, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
 * See my response in Virginia State Highways; this completely fails in some states. --SPUI 19:25, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
