Structure
Articles should follow the structure and standards at AA:MURA.
Naming convention
The title of an article is Virginia State Route N, where N is the number of the route. If it is an article about a secondary route, either disambiguate by adding (X County) to the end, such as Virginia State Route 613 (Fairfax County) or Virginia State Route 711 (Chesterfield and Powhatan Counties), or use the name of the road such as Fairfax County Parkway (which was SR 7100 and is now SR 286).
When talking about a route, use State Route N or SR N; see AA:NC for details.
