Colorado State Highway Naming Convention
In looking through the highways through Colorado, I see some inconsistent naming, and the naming convention on the wiki doesn't seem to be the one that is primarily followed.
According to OTIS, state highways are designated "SH #", and road signs seem to support this convention. Even though its OTIS data uses "SH #", CDOT uses "CO #" in its own feed. I also see a good amount of "State Hwy #", but don't encounter "SR-#", which is what the wiki says should be used.
Edit: Also, the MUTCD (Table 1A-2) indicates that state/county highway abbreviations ought to be in the form "XX #" (with a space) instead of "XX-#" (with a hyphen).
While I'm in the state, I'd like to offer to work in the area near Broomfield to standardize these highway names some, but it would be good if there were a consensus on naming convention.
