The official name is to be used when writing about the road in an article; only use the article title in another article if the sentence would otherwise be ambiguous. Never use a colloquial title other than those listed above, unless you are mentioning that it exists in the article.
Official nicknames for highways (i.e. Golden State Freeway, Tri-State Tollway, New Jersey Turnpike) may be used if the DOT uses it. However, colloquial names such as The Loneliest Road in America should not be used.
Footnotes
[edit]- ^ This column should be referred to in the rare case of the same route number repeated on separate segments in the same state. Only endpoint locations should be used. The names of subdivision(s) smaller than a county, borough, or parish may be used if they are well-known or significantly shorter than the county/borough/parish name(s) would be. This should be determined by consensus.
- ^ Named highways are at <name of road> Highway.
