Infobox
Mississippi road articles use Infobox road. Remember to set the state parameter to "MS", and the type parameter to I, US, or MS for Interstates, U.S. routes, and state routes respectively. Also include MDOT in the maint parameter, along with any other agencies that maintain portions of the road. 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 highways past and present. Use infobox road junction for articles about interchanges.

Historic maps
Use Mississippi road map to generate a reference for the MDOT historic maps.

Junction template
All Mississippi 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 "MS".
