Structure

Articles should follow the structure and standards at WP:USRD/STDS.

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 is SR 7100).

When talking about a route, use State Route N or SR N; see WP:USSH for details.
