[edit] Template documentation

This is a template for generating a junction list for a route article.

[edit] Usage

This is the basic syntax you need to get a complete junction table for routes that only has at-grade intersections. Just copy and paste the code below:

{{Jcttop}}
{{Jctint
|state=
|county=
|cspan=
|location=
|lspan=
|type=
|mile=
|road=
|notes=
}}
{{Jctbtm}}

...and fill in the variables! For more entries, use this:

{{Jctint
|state=
|location=
|lspan=
|type=
|mile=
|road=
|notes=
}}

For the above parameters, here's what you should fill in:

  • state: the state the intersection is at, do not use if cspan or lspan is specified for the row (use the state's postal abbreviation)
  • county: name of the county without wiki markup - the county is automatically linked by the template
  • cspan: number of rows the county spans - if value=1, omit this parameter
  • location: name of the location without wiki markup - the location is automatically linked by the template. Use "none" if the intersection is not in any location; this is often the case in states outside of the northeast.
  • area: (optional for use with location) used to disambiguate between town, city, village, etc.
  • ctdab: (optional for use with location) further disambiguation by county (Brighton in New York is an example where this tag would be used)
  • location_special: (replaces location) location where the junction is located - use for custom entries only. Wiki markup is required.
  • lspan: number of rows the location spans - if value=1, omit this parameter
  • type: noaccess, mplex (for concurrency), decomd (for decommissioned), unbuilt, closed
  • mile: milepost of the junction. If unknown, leave blank.
  • road: road that the article route intersects at this junction. To generate the proper coding, use:
    • State:[[Image:State num.svg|25x20px]] '''[[State Route num|SR num]]''' (refer to naming conventions)
    • US:[[Image:US num.svg|25x20px]] '''[[U.S. Route num|US num]]'''
    • Interstate:[[Image:I-num.svg|25x20px]] '''[[Interstate num|I-num]]'''.
  • street: the street name of the route. Most times this can be omitted, but it may be worth adding if the route is known more for its street name than for its designation.
  • notes: any notes regarding that junction.

Any parameter which is empty can be omitted.

Some states have templates that automatically fill in the state field so it does not need to be entered every time. These include New York ({{NYint}}) and Pennsylvania ({{PAint}}).
