Highways to include
[edit]- All known numbered Illinois state routes
- Notable non-Interstate highways (Elgin-O'Hare Expressway, Kingery Highway)
- Interstate and U.S. Route state-level detail pages (U.S. Route 20 in Illinois)
- Lists of Illinois county highways (List of County Highways in DuPage County, Illinois)

Structure and standards
[edit]See WP:USRD/STDS for the article standards and structure.
Categories
[edit]There are a few guidelines for which categories to put these articles in, but overcategorization is a definite concern. Place Illinois State Route articles in the following categories:
- Category:State highways in Illinois. Use the following sort keys:
- 1di and 2di highways: [[Category:State highways in Illinois|0xx]] where xx is the number of the route
- 3di highways: [[Category:State highways in Illinois|y|xx]] where yxx is the number of the route
- The category for each county the route runs through, i.e. Category:Tazewell County, Illinois.
- Avoid categories for each individual city on the route. Categories for major cities are acceptable.
- Categories for notable highways but not Illinois state routes
Use these for things like Lincoln Highway or Kingery Expressway, not Illinois Route 1.
- Category:Interstate Highways in Illinois
- Category:U.S. Highways in Illinois
- Category:Historic trails and roads in the United States
