Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/New Jersey

Hello and welcome to the New Jersey task force of WikiProject U.S. Roads! If you would like to help, please jump in and start adding or editing. The goal of this task force is to cover Interstates, U.S. routes, state routes, county routes, and other notable roads in New Jersey through well-written quality articles.

Scope
The purpose of this project is to expand and introduce a uniform format to articles dealing with state and county routes in the state of New Jersey.

Content
Articles to be included within the task force:
 * Intrastate U.S. and Interstate routes (i.e. U.S. Route 46, U.S. Route 130, Interstate 195)
 * State detail pages for multi-state routes (i.e. Interstate 95 in New Jersey, U.S. Route 1 in New Jersey)
 * All state routes
 * All 500-series county routes
 * Other county routes are subject to WP:GNG. Otherwise, other county routes should only be covered in a list for that specific county.

Wikipedia articles on New Jersey State and County Routes

 * State highways in New Jersey
 * County routes in New Jersey

Assessment
All of the task force's articles are assessed using the U.S. Roads WikiProject's quality and importance criteria. User:WP 1.0 bot generates a Statewide assessment statistics table and a Statewide assessment log. In addition, there are County by county statistics which rate assessment by county.

Recognized content
Past selected articles of the task force.

Resources

 * List page: State highways in New Jersey
 * Redirect completion list: Completion list

Length

 * The NJDOT Straight Line Diagrams should be used to find the total length along with mileposts for Interstates, U.S. routes, state routes, and county routes.

History

 * /History notes

Structure
New Jersey road articles follow WP:USRD/STDS.

Naming conventions

 * Articles for state routes are titled New Jersey Route X.
 * Articles for 500-series county routes are titled County Route X (New Jersey).
 * Articles for other county routes are titled County Route X (Whichcounty County, New Jersey).
 * Redirects from alternative names should be made as well. Use this completion list to aid in creating these redirects.

Major intersections/exit list
All New Jersey 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 "NJ". Intersections with 500-series county routes can be included in this table on state highways, provided they do not make the list "too long". (Either all 500-series routes should be listed, or none.) Intersections with non-500-series routes should only be included on other county routes. They can be included on 500-series routes, but not with state highways (and again, only with 500-series routes if the list does not become too long).

For jct, the following coding should be used:
 * State:
 * US:
 * Interstate:.
 * 500-series county routes:.
 * Other county routes:.
 * New Jersey Turnpike:.
 * Garden State Parkway:.
 * Atlantic City Expressway:.
 * Palisades Interstate Parkway:.
 * Atlantic City-Brigantine Connector:.
 * Ocean Drive:.

Categories

 * Category:Roads in New Jersey
 * Category:State highways in New Jersey (subcategory)
 * Please use a three-digit sort key (i.e. 003 for Route 3, 070 for Route 70, 166 for Route 166) when putting articles in this category.
 * Do not use a sort key on pages that are named something else (for ex. Garden State Parkway), but do put them in this category.
 * Category:County routes in New Jersey (subcategory)
 * 500-series routes use their route number (which is already 3 digits) for the sortkey (i.e. 571 for County Route 571 (New Jersey)). Other county routes use a 3-digit number (with leading zeroes if necessary) followed by the county name (i.e. 055 Monmouth for County Route 55 (Monmouth County, New Jersey).

Infobox
The New Jersey task force uses Infobox_road with the state=NJ parameter. For the type= parameter, use type=NJ for state routes, type=US for U.S. highways, type=Interstate for Interstate highways, type=CR for county routes. For non-500 series county routes, the county= parameter should be set to the name of the county. Use jct to generate the major intersections and termini in the infobox. The browsing order for the infoboxes can be found at WikiProject New Jersey State and County Routes/Master List.
