Scope and goals

This task force aims primarily to encourage participation in creating or expanding articles about state highways in New Hampshire. This project also aims to establish standards relating to the display of information in these articles.

An article describing the logic and basic history of the New Hampshire Highway System has been created. This article should feature information regarding the state's Freeway and Expressway System, Scenic Highways, and other worthy material. A list of NH routes is also present in the article.

Routes worthy of articles

The following highways can have entire articles dedicated to them:

• Routes that are constructed, traversable, state-maintained, and signed with its own route number.
• Routes that are partly constructed or partly signed.
• Deleted routes that have not been re-designated another route number along its routing.
• Interstates and U.S. routes.

Resources

• NH DOT
• GIS data - can get route log info here
• Turnpikes
• GIS data catalog with route maps
• New Hampshire DOT Route Logs (requires registration) (login:USRD pw:enwp)
• Traffic Volume Reports just select the route from the list.
• City/town GIS data

• Portsmouth Herald (Newspaperarchive, Newspapers.com before 1977 - does not require Publishers Extra)

Structure

See AA:MURA for complete article standards and structure. The contents of each article in this project should reside in New Hampshire Route XXX per AA:NC, with XXX being the route number; also, New Hampshire State Highway XXX and/or New Hampshire State Route XXX should redirect to the article as well.

State law

The description of the route as defined by state law should be quoted here, if available. The quote must include the section of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated which a definition can be found. All descriptions should use the <pre> markup.

Below the code excerpt you should cite when citing the classification of highway:

<ref>[http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/XX/229/229-5.htm NH RSA 229:5 Classification.]</ref>

Category structure

All articles are to be placed into a subcategory of Category:New Hampshire highways.

• NH Routes: Category:State highways in New Hampshire
• Turnpikes: Category:Toll roads in New Hampshire
• U.S. routes: Category:U.S. Highways in New Hampshire
• Interstates: Category:Interstate Highways in New Hampshire.

The sort key is a three-digit number representing the route number (with leading zeroes) suffixed by the letter designation if any (e.g. NH Route 1A is "001A", NH Route 4 is "004"). Examples:

• [[Category:New Hampshire state highways|001]]
• [[Category:New Hampshire state highways|099]]
• [[Category:New Hampshire state highways|241]]
• [[Category:New Hampshire state highways|101A]]
