Template:Portal US Roads Template:Project U.S. Roads East Welcome to the Georgia State Routes WikiProject! Please feel free to contribute on how to improve articles in the talk page above.
Title
The Georgia State Routes WikiProject
Scope
This WikiProject aims primarily to encourage participation in creating or expanding articles about state highways in Georgia, also known as State Routes (note the capitals). This project also aims to establish standards relating to the display of information in these articles.
Routes Worthy of Articles
The following highways can have entire articles dedicated to them:
- Routes that are constructed, traversable, state-maintained, and signed with their own route numbers.
- Routes that are partly constructed or partly signed.
- Deleted routes with significant information worthy of an article.
- Interstates that run entirely in Georgia (mostly spur and loop routes). Ideally, these should also be part of this WikiProject.
- Georgia specific Interstate articles. For example: Interstate 75 in Georgia

- Rschen7754 Never been but happy to help.
- NE2 I've been doing some work here.
- HowardSFI too, have been adding some stuff here and on other Georgia related pages.
Structure
Articles should best start with a short description of the state route. This description should say where the route begins and ends, as well as any discontinuities. Unique details about this road may be added, but use sparingly.
Article Naming Convention
Currently up for debate. At present, the vast majority of articles are located at Georgia State Route XXX, though not all. Due to the events of the last few months regarding naming conventions of other states, it would be best if the community came to a consensus for Georgia as soon as possible, and no moves from any naming convention to any other naming convention should take place until then.
Note: In all uses of the phrase "State Route", capitals are to be used. This includes stubs and categories and templates and lists.
Road Description
A physical description of the road should be given here. Cities and communities the road traverses should be mentioned here, as well as segments of freeway.
History
The history of this route number should be discussed here.
Pages needing attention
Wikipedia:Pages needing attention listings are no longer being updated. For by-topic listings of articles that need attention, see:
To flag an article for attention, add a cleanup template to the article or talk page. See Wikipedia:Template index/Cleanup for a listing. All previously listed articles have either been fixed or tagged.
See also the page history of Wikipedia:Votes for rewrite which ran from May 2002-June 2003 then was redirected to here.
External Links
This is where all external links should be placed. For those relating to the route, please include the following websites. Government or official links should go first. Road enthusiasts links should follow.
External links to points of interest should also go here.
Category Structure
All articles are placed into a category: either Category:Georgia state highways, Category:U.S. Highways in Georgia, or Category:Interstate Highways in Georgia. The sort key is a three digit number representing the route number.
Examples:
- [[Category:Georgia state highways|009]]
- [[Category:Georgia state highways|092]]
- [[Category:Georgia state highways|515]]
Hierarchy definition
No classification of this project has been defined.
