Welcome to the Maine State Routes Task Force of WikiProject U.S. Roads!

Scope and goals
All state-maintained highways in Maine, including all Interstate Highways, U.S. Highways and Maine state-numbered routes, and any other road-related transportation articles of note. The goal is to organize, standardize, and expand the articles on highways in Maine to be a broad, comprehensive, and recognized resource.

Resources

 * Traffic counts Select the county need or the whole state, 2012 for the counties and 2011 for the whole state.
 * Map Viewer - may be possible to get lengths from here

Structure and standards
Articles should follow WP:USRD/STDS.

Naming convention
Articles should be titled "Maine State route X" per WP:USSH.

Shields
The various shield graphics are located in Category:Massachusetts Route shields on Commons. jct can create the various links to highway articles with the appropriate shield graphics for use in the infobox or junction lists.

Categories
Articles should be placed in the following categories as appropriate:
 * Category:State highways in Maine for most highways
 * Category:Interstate Highways in Maine for highways that are also part of the Interstate Highway System in the state
 * Category:U.S. Highways in Maine for highways that are also part of the U.S. Highway System in the state

Infobox
Use infobox road or 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.

Junction template
Use jct to create the entries in a junction list section for the article, or the junction list in the infobox. To use, insert into the article. If two to four highways are needed, use. Types can be I for Interstates, US for US Routes or ME for state routes. Further instructions can be found on the documentation page.
