Hello and welcome to the Vermont Routes task force page! If you would like to help, please jump in and start adding or editing.
==Scope==
Numbered Vermont Routes as designated by the Vermont Agency of Transportation ([[VTrans]]).


==Goals==
==Scope and goals==
Numbered routes as designated by the Vermont Agency of Transportation ([[VTrans]]). This includes all "state-designated town maintained routes", which are [[state highway]]s maintained by the towns it passes through.
To organize, standardize, and expand the articles on Vermont Routes.


The goal is to organize, standardize, and expand the articles on state highways in Vermont.
==Participants==
{{/Participants}}


==How you can help==
Members of this project are encouraged to add {{tlu|Wikipedia:WikiProject Vermont Routes/Userbox}} to their user page. The resulting userbox is shown below.
{{todo}}
{|
You can help by visiting the [[List of state highways in Vermont]] and selecting any route in red (which means that there is no article for it yet) and starting that article, or editing the article of any route that you can provide more information about.
|{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Vermont Routes/Userbox}}
|}


You can open [[:Category:U.S. road articles needing attention]] and review what has been noted to need work there. Also, you can check [[:Category:Vermont road stubs]] to see which articles need expanding. Routes in [[:Category:Routes needing mileposts]] are missing mileposts for the junctions. You can open this category and add mileposts for any route listed. Once the mile column has been completed (to the nearest '''thousandth''' for each junction as explained above) and sourced using the traffic counts, the {{tl|mileposts}} tag can be removed.
==Structure==
Articles on routes are to be named "Vermont Route <i>N</i>" (where <i>N</i> is the route number assigned by [http://www.aot.state.vt.us/ VTrans]) per [[WP:USSH]]. Articles about the 900-series routes should be named for the road name of the route, not for the route number(s) it carries. Shields are available for all routes in the format Vermont X.svg, where X is the route number.


==Assessment==
To maintain a consistent format, articles will be organized in the order shown below.
{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Vermont road transport articles by quality statistics}}


==Recognized content==
===Infobox===
{{/Recognized content}}
'''Required'''. See [[#Infoboxes|Infoboxes]] below.


===Main section===
==Resources==
*List page: [[List of Routes in Vermont]]
'''Required'''. An untitled section (known as the [[WP:LEAD|lead]]) that describes the route. Depending on the route this section may just name the direction (E/W or N/S) and termination points, or may go into considerable detail. However, the majority of detail, such as progress by town or county, should be reserved for the next section. Use [[WP:LEAD]] as a loose guideline on what to place in this section.
*Redirect completion list:[[/Redirects|Completion list]]


===Route description===
'''Required'''. This section is for describing the route itself and its progression across the counties of Vermont. This section should be broken up by counties or other suitable segments using third-level headlines. If the route is contained entirely in one county, then it is not necessary to give said county a third-level headline. Regardless of the route's length, progression should be described from south to north, west to east.

No standalone community box should be used; instead, include all communities in the route description and denote major communities through junctions in the infobox (see [[#Infoboxes|Infoboxes]] below).

===History===
'''Optional, but strongly recommended'''. Place any historical information about the route here. Ensure that proper, [[WP:RS|reliable]] references are added.

===Future===
'''Optional'''. Place any '''''confirmed (no speculation)''''' information about the future of the route here. Again, ensure that proper, [[WP:RS|reliable]] references are added.

===Miscellanea===
'''Optional, but discouraged'''. Any trivia or facts about a route should be placed in this section. Limit usage of this section to a minimum - the [[WP:GA|Good Article]] and [[WP:FA|Featured Article]] processes frown at articles with trivia sections. Instead of using this section, consider incorporating its potential contents into other sections of the article.

===Suffixed routes===
'''Required'''. This section is intended to be used on parent articles ''only'' (ex. place this section on [[Vermont Route 100]], not [[Vermont Route 100A]]). This is a bulleted list of a route's suffixed routes, with a description of each route. This description can be as brief as a sentence or go into full detail; this typically depends on whether or not the suffixed route has its own article. See [[NY 7]] or [[NY 31]] for how this section should look. Omit this section if a route has never had any suffixed routes (such as [[NY 8]]).

===Major intersections===
'''Required'''. The contents of this section may vary by route. If the road is predominantly a [[limited-access highway]], title the section "Exit list" and make an exit list designed in accordance with the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (exit lists)|the exit list guide]]. If the road is predominantly an at-grade highway, title the section "Major intersections" and make a table for at-grade intersections using {{tl|VTint}}. Intersections in this form of table should generally be limited to major roadways, such as other signed routes (such as state routes, U.S. Routes, and Interstate Highways), major unsigned arterials, or roads that were once a signed route. If the article route is just as much an expressway as it is an at-grade road, then use common sense to separate the table into sections where needed.

The following is the basic syntax you need to get a complete junction table on the article page; just place this in the '''Major intersections''' section and fill in the variables. Be sure to reference the traffic counts for the length by using <nowiki>{{VTinttop|length_ref=<ref>(reference here)</ref>}}</nowiki>. A template ({{tlu|User:TwinsMetsFan/citevt}}) can be used to easily generate the required reference. Go to the nearest '''thousandth (0.000)''' for all mileposts, since that is the precision that our length source (the traffic counts) uses.
<pre>
{{VTinttop}}
{{VTint
|county=
|cspan=
|location=
|lspan=
|mile=
|type=
|road=
|notes=
}}
{{VTintbtm}}
</pre>

For additional entries, use this:
<pre>
{{VTint
|county=
|cspan=
|location=
|lspan=
|mile=
|type=
|road=
|notes=
}}
</pre>

Further instructions can be found at {{tl|Jctint}}. Shortcuts are available to generate the proper coding for the road parameter. They are:
*VTint/VT:<nowiki>{{subst:VTint/VT|(route number)}}</nowiki>
*VTint/US:<nowiki>{{subst:VTint/US|(route number)}}</nowiki>
*VTint/IN:<nowiki>{{subst:VTint/IN|(Interstate number)}}</nowiki>

Examples of complete tables:
*All at-grade: [[Vermont Route 17]]
*At-grade and limited-access: [[U.S. Route 4 in Vermont]]
*All limited-access: [[Vermont Route 279]]

===Bannered routes===
'''Optional'''. Place all bannered routes of the route here. See [[U.S. Route 4 in Vermont]] for how to format this section.

===See also===
'''Optional'''. Place all internal links here.

===References===
'''Required'''. Place all references here, using the <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> tags in the article and {{tl|reflist}} in this section.

===External links===
'''Optional'''. Place all external links which are not references here.

==How you can help==
{{todo}}
<div style="float:right; text-align:center">'''Current assessment statistics:'''<br />{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Vermont road transport articles by quality statistics}}</div>
You can help by opening the [[List of Routes in Vermont]] and selecting any route in red (which means that there is no article for it yet) and starting that article, or opening any route that you can provide more information about.

You can open [[:Category:U.S. road articles needing attention]] and review what has been noted to need work there. Also, you can check [[:Category:Vermont road stubs]] to see which articles need expanding. Routes in [[:Category:Routes needing mileposts]] are missing mileposts for the junctions. You can open this category and add mileposts for any route listed. Once the mile column has been completed (to the nearest '''thousandth''' for each junction) and sourced using the traffic counts, the {{tl|mileposts}} tag can be removed.

===Naming convention and shields===
==Templates==
Articles on state highways in Vermont are to be named "Vermont Route <i>N</i>" (where <i>N</i> is the route number assigned by the [[Vermont Agency of Transportation]]) per [[WP:USSH]]. Shields are available for all state highways and have two different naming conventions:
===Infoboxes===
*Post-1995 state-maintained routes and suffixed routes that were removed prior to 1995: Vermont #.svg
The infobox for Vermont routes is {{tl|Infobox road}}. Instructions for use are below. For U.S. routes entirely within Vermont, or for state-detail articles, use {{tl|Infobox road}} with "state=VT" and "type=US". For Interstate Highways entirely within Vermont, or for state-detail articles, use {{tl|Infobox road}} with "state=VT" and "type=I".
*Post-1995 town-maintained routes and non-suffixed routes that were removed prior to 1995: Circle sign #.svg


Exceptions to both do exist: see [[List of state highways in Vermont]] or simply use {{tl|jct}} to determine the correct shield for the route.

===Categories===
This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete routebox on the article page, just place this before any other text and fill in the variables.
All routes are to be placed in <nowiki>[[Category:State highways in Vermont|nnnA]]</nowiki> where nnn is the 3-digit route number, and A is the letter suffix if any (e.g. VT 2A is "002A", VT 3 is "003").
<pre width=100%>
{{Infobox road
|state=VT
|type=
|route=
|alternate_name=
|length_mi=
|length_round=

</pre>
For the above parameters here's what you should fill in:
* '''state:''' '''VT'''
* '''type:''' '''VT''' for state routes
* '''route:''' This is the number of the route the article is about
* '''alternate_name:''' Use in situations where the '''entire route''' has another name (i.e. VT 279 is called the Bennington Bypass for its entire length)
* '''length_mi:''' This is the length of the route in miles. If you specify beyond integers (i.e. add a decimal value) you will need to set the following paramater, length_round
* '''length_round:''' If your value for ''length_mi'' is a whole number, you can omit this. Otherwise it needs to be set to the decimal precision of the ''length_mi'' paramater.
* '''length_ref:''' To do what a good article writer should, provide your reference for the length of the route using standard &lt;ref&gt; method. For example: <nowiki><ref name=routelog>{{cite web|url=http://www.aot.state.vt.us/Planning/Documents/TrafResearch/Publications/2006%20Route%20Log%20AADTs%20State%20Highways-Final.pdf|title=2006 (Route Log) AADTs - State Highways|publisher=[[Vermont Agency of Transportation]]|date=June 2007|accessdate=2007-12-23}}</ref></nowiki>
* '''established:''' This is the date the route was commissioned or assigned to its current alignment
* '''direction_a:''' This should be either '''south''' or '''west''' to keep in accordance with the U.S. Roads parent project, which lists termini and junctions in progression travelling from West to East and South to North.
* '''starting_terminus:''' This is where the route begins and is either at the '''southern''' terminus or '''western''' terminus.
* '''junction:''' All major junctions along this route. There is a maximum limit of 10 junctions per [[WP:USRD/INNA]] guidelines.
**These are some general guidelines of what to place here:
***Intersections with U.S. Highways, parkways/expressways, or Interstate Highways.
***Intersections that help to illustrate where the route passes through (see [[New York State Route 7]]).<!--again, not a Vermont route, but the example works--> These are generally intersections with long-distance travel routes or intersections in major locations on the route.
**These are some general guidelines of what not to place here:
***Junctions that do not fall into the classes above, such as those with local roads, state routes that are primarily local in nature, or locations where a route passes over/under a a road but does not intersect it.
***Junctions with roads that parallel the road the article is about (example: [[I-88 (E)|I-88]] and [[NY 7]])<!--same explanation-->, as these junctions typically do not help to illustrate where the route travels.
**Routes should appear as "VT XXX" and Interstate Highways should appear as "I-XXX", where XXX is the route number per [[WP:USRD/INNA]]. Examples: [[Vermont Route 153]]→VT 153…[[Interstate 89]]→I-89.
**Try to avoid listing multiple junctions from a single area. In the event that this occurs (such as [[US 4 (VT)|US 4]] intersecting both [[I-89 (VT)|I-89]] and [[US 5 (VT)|US 5]] in [[Hartford, Vermont|Hartford]]), list only the most important of the junctions. Simply put, avoid repeating locations.
* '''direction_b:''' The opposite of ''direction_a''
* '''ending_terminus:''' where the route ends, in accordance with the guidelines set forth with starting_terminus
* '''counties:''' a list of counties that the route enters
* '''previous_type:''' This is the type of route that precedes the current one in the system. The value for this is: '''Interstate''', '''US''', or '''VT''' for Interstates, U.S. Routes and other Vermont Routes, respectively.
* '''previous_route:''' The number of the route preceding this one
* '''next_type:''' Same as ''previous_type'' but for the route following this one
* '''next_route:''' The number of the route succeeding this one


Routes that exist in only one county should also have that county as a category (example: since [[Vermont Route 289]] only exists in Chittenden County, it would have [[:Category:Chittenden County, Vermont]] as a category). The addition of county categories to multi-county routes is optional, but recommended.
'''Important notes regarding the routebox''': When listing the previous and next routes, please remain chronological, regardless of route type (example: VT 155, I-189, VT 191, etc.). Please see [[List of Routes in Vermont]] for a complete list. The precedence is as follows: Interstate Highway, U.S. Route, Vermont Route (per [[WP:USRD/INNA]]).


==Templates==
Any tags that do not apply to a particular route can either be omitted or left blank.


===Stub templates===
By completing the infobox as follows, you'll get a routebox like the one above.

Hello and welcome to the Vermont Routes task force page! If you would like to help, please jump in and start adding or editing.

Scope and goals

[edit]

Numbered routes as designated by the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans). This includes all "state-designated town maintained routes", which are state highways maintained by the towns it passes through.

The goal is to organize, standardize, and expand the articles on state highways in Vermont.

How you can help

[edit]

You can help by visiting the List of state highways in Vermont and selecting any route in red (which means that there is no article for it yet) and starting that article, or editing the article of any route that you can provide more information about.

You can open Category:U.S. road articles needing attention and review what has been noted to need work there. Also, you can check Category:Vermont road stubs to see which articles need expanding. Routes in Category:Routes needing mileposts are missing mileposts for the junctions. You can open this category and add mileposts for any route listed. Once the mile column has been completed (to the nearest thousandth for each junction as explained above) and sourced using the traffic counts, the {{mileposts}} tag can be removed.

Naming convention and shields

[edit]

Articles on state highways in Vermont are to be named "Vermont Route N" (where N is the route number assigned by the Vermont Agency of Transportation) per WP:USSH. Shields are available for all state highways and have two different naming conventions:

  • Post-1995 state-maintained routes and suffixed routes that were removed prior to 1995: Vermont #.svg
  • Post-1995 town-maintained routes and non-suffixed routes that were removed prior to 1995: Circle sign #.svg

Exceptions to both do exist: see List of state highways in Vermont or simply use {{jct}} to determine the correct shield for the route.

Categories

[edit]

All routes are to be placed in [[Category:State highways in Vermont|nnnA]] where nnn is the 3-digit route number, and A is the letter suffix if any (e.g. VT 2A is "002A", VT 3 is "003").

Routes that exist in only one county should also have that county as a category (example: since Vermont Route 289 only exists in Chittenden County, it would have Category:Chittenden County, Vermont as a category). The addition of county categories to multi-county routes is optional, but recommended.
