Naming convention
Articles should be titled "South Dakota Highway X" per WP:USSH.

Shields
The various shield graphics are located in Category:South Dakota State Highway 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

 * Category:Interstate Highways in South Dakota for highways that are also part of the Interstate Highway System in the state
 * Category:U.S. Highways in South Dakota 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 SD for state routes. Further instructions can be found on the documentation page.
