[edit] Introduction
The introduction shall contain a brief description of the route.
[edit] Route Description
The route description shall contain, obviously, a description of the route, either separated by county or in organised paragraphs from north to south. Cities shall be included in their corresponding county. If the route is short or if there is not much to say about it, the route description can be included in the introduction.
[edit] Towns along the route
This section shall list all towns and cities, including those that are unincorporated, through which the route travels.
[edit] Intersections
This section shall include intersections with other state, U.S., and Interstate routes, and the location of the intersection. These shall consist of the following table with routes listed north-to-south or east-to-west.

Any history of the route should be here.
[edit] Trivia
Any trivia that doesn't fit into the History section should be listed here.
[edit] Construction
If there is a major construction project going on relating to the route, such as a highway improvement project, a description of the project is to go here. A good example can be found on the State Route 28 article. The title of this section should be named according to the project, such as found on the aforementioned article.
[edit] External links
Any sources and links should be listed here.
[edit] Exemptions
Due to complexity of some articles, they shall be exempted from some or all of the structure requirements. The following routes will be approved for exemption from the beginning of this WikiProject unless discussion on the articles decides to go forward with the structure..

[edit] Shields
User:NE2 has created shields for all Primary Virginia highways in svg format. You can see them at Commons:Category:Virginia road signs. There are also PNG files, but those are not recommended for use, as the svg files are more up-to-date.
[edit] Category
Category:Virginia state highways
The category is sorted numerically by the place of the hundreds digit. The convention is
[[Category:Virginia state highways|xxx]]
where xxx is the route number of the highway you're editing. 1- and 2- digit numbers get leading zeros; thus Virginia State Highway 6 is categorized as 006.
This category will help you find articles that have been created and need to expanded: Category:Southern United States road stubs
[edit] Project Reference
A good place to begin would be the List of Virginia numbered highways, which has most of the highways right now.
