Spread the word! {{Project U.S. Roads East}}
|
Welcome to the The Kentucky State Highways WikiProject! Please feel free to contribute on how to improve articles in the talk page above.
 |
This subproject has been demoted to a task force of WP:USRD due to a low level of activity, a high number of articles requiring cleanup or attention, a project page less developed than that of WP:USRD, or another reason as given below this message.
To help this task force be considered for a re-promotion to subproject status, you can become more active in the project, improve existing articles or improve the project page. When these issues have been addressed, you may request re-promotion at WT:USRD/SUB.
|
This WikiProject aims primarily to encourage participation in creating or expanding articles about state highways in Kentucky. 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 Kentucky State Highway System is necessary to accompany the current List of Kentucky State Highways article. This article should feature information regarding the state's Interstate, Primary, Secondary, Rural and Supplemental routes as well as Scenic Byways, and other worthy material.
- Develop and maintain articles on all Primary System Roads in Kentucky.
- Develop and maintain articles on all named Parkways in Kentucky.
- Refrain from creating articles related to Secondary and Supplementary System Roads in Kentucky that provide no encyclopedic or historical notability.
[edit] 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 with significant information worthy of an article.
- Interstates that run entirely in Kentucky (mostly spur and loop routes). Ideally, these should also be part of this WikiProject.
There are instances to this:
- For routes that have been entirely deleted and whose number has not been reused, these should be merged onto a single article, Deleted Kentucky State Highways.
- For routes that are entirely unconstructed, these should be merged onto another article, Unconstructed Kentucky State Highways.
- Supplemental or minor secondary state routes.

[edit] Structure
Articles should best start with a short description of the state highway. This description should say where the route begins and ends, as well as any deviations, such as exiting the state and re-entering. Unique details about this route may be added, but use sparingly. The contents of each article in this project should reside in Kentucky Route XXX, with XXX being the route number. An instance of this is Kentucky Route 1.
[edit] Route Description
A physical description of the route should be given here. Cities and communities the route traverses should be mentioned here, as well as segments of freeway. (This can be merged in with the above if both are quite brief.)
[edit] Major intersections
{{KYinttop}}
{{KYint
|county=
|cspan=
|location=
|lspan=
|mile=
|type=
|road=
|notes=
}}
{{KYintbtm}}
For additional entries, use this:
{{KYint
|county=
|cspan=
|location=
|lspan=
|mile=
|type=
|road=
|notes=
}}
For the above parameters, here's what you should fill in:
| Heading |
What to Enter |
| county |
name of county – automatically coded for [[''Blank'' County, Kentucky|''Blank'']]; just enter county name. |
| cspan |
number of rows this county spans. |
| location |
municipality – use for municipalities such as [[''Municipality'', Kentucky|''Municipality'']], where the municipality has its own article (incorporated cities and villages); just enter the municipality name. |
| location_special |
use in place of location field for areas that do not have their own associated articles in the above format. |
| area |
Optional - Use for disambiguating between town and village |
| ctdab |
Optional - Use for disambiguating between towns that exist in multiple counties |
| lspan |
number of rows this location spans. |
| mile |
milepost to the nearest 1/10th. |
| type |
noaccess – for highways that cross but have no actual junction
mplex – for concurrencies
decomd – for intersections with decommissioned routes or segments
unbuilt – for planned junctions
closed – for indefinite closures (not temporary) |
| road |
intersecting road(s) at this junction. To generate the proper coding, use {{subst:KYint/XX|Y|ZZpx}}, where
• XX = KY (Kentucky), US (U.S. Route), or IN (interstate)
• Y = route or interstate number (1 to 3 digits)
• ZZ = size of shield in pixels (20 or 25)
Notes:
• Multiple routes at one intersection can be entered by inserting a <br> and then entering another {{subst:WVint/XX}} template. |
| notes |
any notes regarding this junction. |
Any field which is empty can be omitted. Junctions which are approximately 0.1 mile apart may be combined into one entry in the table.
[edit] History
The history of the highway should be discussed here.
[edit] External links
This is where all external links should be placed. For those relating to the route, please include the following websites. Government or official links should go first. Road enthusiasts links should follow. Example: For Kentucky Route 55, these links would be used: *[http://transportation.ky.gov/planning/reports/SPRS_listings/listings/adair.pdf State Primary Road System in Adair County] *[http://transportation.ky.gov/planning/reports/SPRS_listings/listings/taylor.pdf State Primary Road System in Taylor County] External links to points of interests should also go here.
[edit] Category structure
All articles are placed into a subcategory of Category:Kentucky Highways: either Category:Kentucky state highways, Category:U.S. Highways in Kentucky, or Category:Interstate Highways in Kentucky. The sort key is a four-digit number representing the route number.
Examples:
- [[Category:Kentucky State Highways|0001]]
- [[Category:Kentucky State Highways|0101]]
- [[Category:Kentucky State Highways|3501]]
- [[Category:Kentucky State Highways|9801]]

The section on the bottom is to browse the state highways. The the link on the left is for the previous state highway in numerical order. The link on the right is for the next state highway. An italicized route designates the route as either entirely deleted or entirely unconstructed. Only route numbers that are or were in use can be used; numbers that were never assigned to any route should not be used (Example: After Kentucky Route 26, Kentucky Route 28 should follow, since no number between the two has ever been used for a Kentucky State Highway. Instead, U.S. Highway 27 stretches through Kentucky.
