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-46 W") 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-80 E
I-287 N
- US-46 W (Split "1-way" segments)
US-206 (Unsplit "2-way" segments)
Try to keep local names as primary and put below as alternate name.
- SR-17 S (Split "1-way" segments)
SR-27 (Unsplit "2-way" segments)
- Also Acceptable (but be consistent):
- State Rte 27
NJ-27
- State Rte 27
Keep local names as primary and put below as alternate name.
- CR-511 S (Split "1-way" segments)
CR-511 (Unsplit "2-way" segments)
- to I-80 W / Delaware Water Gap
to I-287 N / Morristown / Mahwah
- numbered exit: Exit 8C: Monmouth Blvd
numbered exit with multiple names: Exit 135: Clark / Westfield
non-numbered exit: Exit to US-9 S / Lakewood
- You need to have Level 5 to be able to change most of these highway names
- You must finish what you started...NEVER leave it incomplete.
