Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Delaware

Welcome to the Delaware Routes Task Force of WikiProject U.S. Roads! The goal of this task force is to cover Interstates, U.S. routes, state routes, and other notable roads in Delaware through well-written quality articles.

Scope and goals
The task force covers Delaware state routes along with Interstates and U.S. routes that run through Delaware. Also included are other notable roads maintained by DelDOT, such as the Puncheon Run Connector, along with coverage of the Delaware Byways system. The goal is to organize, standardize, and expand the articles on highways in Delaware to be a broad, comprehensive, and recognized resource.

Resources

 * Delaware maintenance road numbers
 * All-time list
 * Redirects list

Length

 * DelDOT Traffic Count and Mileage Report - Use this to find the total length of Interstates, U.S. routes, and state routes along with the mileposts in the Major intersections/exit list.

History

 * DelDOT Historic Highway Maps
 * DelDOT Annual Reports

Structure and standards
Delaware road articles follow WP:USRD/STDS.

Naming convention
All articles on state routes are named Delaware Route X per WP:SRNC and WP:USSH. Delaware state routes are to be abbreviated DE X.

Shields
Delaware uses Elongated circle X.svg for 1 and 2-digit state route shields and Ellipse sign X.svg for 3-digit state route shields. The shields are at commons:Category:Elongated circular route shields and commons:Category:Elliptical route shields.

Infobox
Delaware road articles use Infobox road. Remember to set the state parameter to "DE", and the type parameter to I, US, or DE for Interstates, U.S. routes, and state routes respectively. Also include DelDOT in the maint parameter (unless another agency maintains the entire road, such as with I-295), along with any other agencies that maintain portions of the road (such as USACE for the roads that cross the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal). Use jct to generate the major intersections and termini in the infobox. The browse in the infobox includes all Interstates, U.S. routes, and state routes past and present. Use infobox road junction for articles about interchanges.

Historic maps
Use Delaware road map to generate a reference for the DelDOT historic maps.

Junction template
All Delaware road articles should have a major intersections or exit list table (depending on the route) following the standards set forth at MOS:RJL, generated using jct, jcttop, jctint, and jctbtm. Remember to set the state parameter to "DE".
