Standard for Route Naming in DE
DE editors,
The standard for the naming of US Routes was changed to:
US-xx (from US Hwy xx)
in January 2012 in order to save precious map real estate and to shorten TTS delivery time.
US Highways should:
INTERSTATE:
Try to keep local names as primary (e.g. Pulaski Hwy) and put below as alternate name.
Try to keep local names as primary (e.g. S College Ave) and put below as alternate name. (more info)

The standard for the naming of US Routes was changed to:
US-xx (from US Hwy xx)
in January 2012 in order to save precious map real estate and to shorten TTS delivery time.
US Highways should:
- be named according to the US-xx convention,
- include directional indicators (i.e., "US-40 E") for all split portions of the route,
- include local names where appropriate (i.e., when signed primarily using the local name; when
- home/business addresses are given using a local name)
- be navigationally sound, including all intersections and turnarounds, and
- have, when access is partially- or fully-limited, properly-named ramps according to signage.
INTERSTATE:
- I-95 N
I-495 S
Try to keep local names as primary (e.g. Pulaski Hwy) and put below as alternate name.
- US-40 W (Split "1-way" segments)
US-13 (Unsplit "2-way" segments)
Try to keep local names as primary (e.g. S College Ave) and put below as alternate name. (more info)
- SR-1 S (Split "1-way" segments)
SR-896 (Unsplit "2-way" segments)
- to I-95 N / Wilmington / Philadelphia
to I-495 S / Newport / Baltimore
- numbered exit: Exit 114: South Smyrna
numbered exit with multiple names: Exit 165B: I-95 N / Wilmington / Philadelphia
numbered exit with multiple exits: Exit 4A-B: SR-1 / SR-7 / SR-58 / Mall Rd / Dover / Churchmans Crossing
non-numbered exit: Exit to SR-1 S / Dover
- You need to have Level 5 to be able to change most of these highway names
- Finish what you started--don't leave things done halfway!
