Structure
Articles should follow AA:MURA.
Naming convention
Articles on signed routes are to be named "Utah State Route N" (where N is the route number assigned by the DOT) per AA:NC.
Law section
Many older Utah Route articles have the law where the route is defined as a separate section. The infobox road template now supports the Utah Law with the "section" field. As articles are updated the Law section should be removed and the infobox updated.
Categories
All state highways should include the category tag: [[Category:State highways in Utah|nnn]] where nnn is 3-digit route number (e.g. Route 1 is "001", Route 2 is "002"). Category:Utah Scenic Byways should be added where applicable.

Citation Templates
These templates are wrappers to the cite web template for pages frequently used for citations on Utah road articles. The idea is if UDOT reorganizes their website we have one template to change instead of hundreds of articles to change. If you wish to use these UDOT resources in an article, however, these templates will not meet your needs, please consider improving the templates instead of forking or manual URL's.
