Hello and welcome to the North Carolina State Highways task force page! If you would like to help, please jump in and start adding or editing. If you would like to join the group, please sign up below.

The purpose of this WikiProject is to create, standardize, and improve articles about the state highway system in North Carolina. This project will encompass all the North Carolina State Routes (on diamond-shaped shields), the U.S. Routes and Interstates that are predominantly North Carolinian (like US 158) and any other unusual routes in the state (like Charlotte 4); important named freeways are also included (like Bryan Boulevard).

To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/North Carolina: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2014-02-14 Have North Carolina Highway 2A nominated for FA Status Put infoboxes on existing route articles. Write all of the articles of the NC Highway System. Rewrite articles to read in the correct direction. Several routes in the project are written in the wrong direction, be it in the infobox, the route description, or the junction list. These should be written so that they read from south to north or from west to east, depending on how the route is cataloged. For many of the articles already written, this should be a relatively simple matter. Have 3 Articles Nominated for FA Status this includes NC 2A Have all US Routes to C Class or better Have all Interstates to C Class or better Remove all Stubs

If there is a North Carolina road-related article you would like to see created, add a request for it below:

• Lowest numbered stub: North Carolina Highway 21

Other stubs can be found at Category:Stub-Class North Carolina road transport articles

If there is any other North Carolina road-related article that already exists but you would like to see it cleaned up or expanded, add it below:

This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:North Carolina road transport articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.

• List of numbered routes in North Carolina (now merged into North Carolina Highway System)
• /Renumberings
• /Named highways
• Historic state maps
• Historic county maps
• GIS data
• NCDOT on Flickr (CC-BY-SA 2.0 pictures)

These places are usually very helpful in finding termini and road lengths:

• NC Roads (now defunct, but mirror of info can be found at the annex.)-This should only be used as a guide as NCRoads is not a reliable source.
• NC Roads Annex
• State Ends - NC Routes

The structure can vary a little, but it should basically look like the format prescribed by WP:USRD/STDS.

Articles should be named "North Carolina Highway n" (where n is the route number).

A redirect page should be made for each NC route where if I search for "NC 8", North Carolina State Highway 8 should pop up. If there is already a article for the redirect page like in the case of NC 4, make a disambiguation page or a tag at the top of the article.

The WikiProject's Completion List will show any redirects that need to be made. (links with no shield at the beginning of the line are routes that don't exist) (currently under development)

Route shield SVGs should be named "NC n.svg". Most shields have already been made and can be found in the category North Carolina Highway Shields at Wikimedia Commons

Category:State highways in North Carolina

The category is sorted numerically by the place of the hundreds digit. The convention is

[[Category:State highways in North Carolina|xxx]]

where xxx is the route number of the highway you're editing. 1- and 2- digit numbers get leading zeros; thus North Carolina State Highway 6 is categorized as 006. There are a few exceptions like with NC 226A; in those cases, you can just do this:

[[Category:State highways in North Carolina|226A]]

This category will help you find articles that have been created and need to expanded: Category:Southern United States road stubs

Infobox and instructions for use are located at Template:Infobox road.

{{NorthCarolina-road-stub}}

• These should be placed at the bottom of the route articles that need more details.
• Articles with stubs will automatically be entered into Category:Southern United States road stubs.
