Scope and goals

The goal is to organize, standardize, and expand the articles on highways in New Mexico to be a broad, comprehensive, and recognized resource.

Structure and standards

Naming convention

Articles should be titled "New Mexico State Road X" per AA:NC.

Categories

Articles should be placed in the following categories as appropriate:

Templates

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 {{jct|state=NM|type|number}} into the article. If two to four highways are needed, use {{jct|state=NM|type|first number|type|second number}}. Types can be I for Interstates, US for US Routes or NM for state routes. Further instructions can be found on the documentation page.
