__NOTOC__
==Usage==
This template generates an infobox for roads, both numbered and unnumbered. Below is the basic syntax that you need to get a complete infobox for an article. Place this below any hatnotes and before any other text and fill in the variables. If a variable is empty, it can and should be omitted. Other, more specific parameters exist and are described in detail below.
===Numbered roads===
This is the basic code you need to set up an infobox for a numbered route.
<pre width=100%>
{{Infobox road
|country=

|terminus_b=
|previous_type=
|previous_route=
|next_type=

}}
</pre>
===Unnumbered roads===
This is the basic code you need to set up an infobox for an unnumbered route.
<pre width=100%>
{{Infobox road
|name=

}}
</pre>
==Parameters==
===Numbered roads===
These parameters are typically used only for numbered routes.
*'''country:''' the [[ISO 3166-1]] alpha-3 code of the country that the route is in. Use [[ISO 3166-1#Current codes|this list]] to find the correct code for the country. [[Template:Infobox road/doc/country|These countries]] have had the necessary subtemplates set up; see that page for instructions on how to set up new countries. If the route is located in Australia, the United States, Canada, or Mexico, ''and'' the route is located within one state or province use '''state''' (Australia, US, and Mexico) or '''province''' (Canada) instead. The "state" and "province" parameters are ''not'' interchangeable. Accepted values for these two parameters are as follows:
**'''Australian state:''' the two-letter abbreviation of the state. '''Note:''' <code>|country=AUS</code> must also be set if the state is NT or WA to avoid conflicts with other countries.
**'''U.S. state:''' the two-letter [[United States postal abbreviations|postal abbreviation]] of the state.
**'''Canadian province:''' the two-letter [[Canadian subnational postal abbreviations|postal abbreviation]] of the province.
**'''Mexican state:''' the three-letter [[ISO 3166-2:MX]] code of the state, minus the "MX-" prefix.
*'''type:''' the type of route the article is about. See [[Template:Infobox road/doc/type|this page]] for a list.
*'''subtype:''' the type of [[special route]] that the article route is, if applicable
*'''county:''' the county associated with the route that the article is about. Use only for county routes.
*'''route:''' the number of the route.
*'''section:''' the section of code that defines this route. Very few areas use this, and the appropriate subpage (<nowiki>[[/law/USA]]</nowiki> for example) must be set up for the parameter to work. The state of Minnesota also uses '''subsection''' to specify the exact section of the legal code definition.
*'''spur_type:''' defines the type of route that the route is a spur of. Use for [[spur route]]s, such as a loop road, bypass, alternate route, business route, truck route, or other type of route. Example: Use WV for [[West Virginia Route 10 Alternate]].
*'''spur_of:''' defines what the parent route is, such as [[Highway 7A (Ontario)|Highway 7A]]'s parent is [[Highway 7 (Ontario)|Highway 7]], or [[Interstate 110 (disambiguation)|Interstate 110]]'s parent is [[Interstate 10]]. The usual text that would go here is the road number, such as "7" or "10" or "500".
*'''previous_type:''' this is the type of route that proceeds the current one in the system. See [[Template:Infobox road/doc/type|this page]] for a list.
*'''previous_route:''' the number of the route preceding this one
*'''previous_dab:''' any disambiguation needed to generate the correct link to the previous route
*'''browse_route:''' the route associated with the current browse row. Typically used only if the browsing route is not the route that the rest of the infobox is about.
*'''next_type:''' same as "previous_type" but for the route following this one
*'''next_route:''' the number of the route succeeding this one
*'''next_dab:''' same as "previous_dab" but for the route following this one
*'''browse:''' use to add additional browse lines, which are generated by templates similar to {{tl|ny browse}}. These templates accept the seven parameters given above plus "county"; however, "route" is used instead of "browse_route".
===Historical roads===
These parameters are typically used only for roads of a historic nature, such as the [[Silk Road]].
*'''time_period:''' the time period that the road existed in.
**'''established_by:''' the body that built or established the road. Used only in conjunction with "time_period".
**'''significance:''' the historical/cultural significance of the route. Used only in conjunction with "time_period".
**'''related:''' roads related to the historical road. Used only in conjunction with "time_period".
===Route information===
*'''marker_image:''' shield image to be displayed. Requires full wiki markup. Typically not needed for numbered routes.
*'''name:''' road name to be displayed. Typically not needed for numbered routes.
*'''maint:''' the agency that maintains the highway. If the appropriate subpage (<nowiki>[[/maint/USA]]</nowiki> for example) exists and a specific jurisdiction is specified (such as "state=AZ"), this parameter will be filled in automatically with that jurisdiction's department of transportation. "maint" still works, however, if the default agency needs to be overwritten, for instance if the route is maintained by another agency.
*'''alternate_name:''' Use in situations where the '''''entire route''''' has another name. For example, [[New York State Route 590]] is called the Sea Breeze Expressway for its entire length.
*'''map:''' image name of a map for the route, without the <code>File:</code> [[Help:Namespace|namespace]] prefix, which the template will place into an [[Help:Image|image link]] for you. For example, <code>map=''map_name''|map_alt=''alt text''</code> will render as: <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:''map_name''|290x172px|alt=''alt text''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></code>.
**'''map_alt:''' alt text for the map, for visually impaired readers. See [[WP:ALT]]. This parameter should be specified if '''map''' is specified.
**'''map_notes:''' an optional parameter with text to display along with the map.
**'''map_custom:''' optionally set to ''yes'' if you want to override the template's default image link; then you may specify your own complete image link with: <code><nowiki>map=[[File:</nowiki>''map_name''|<nowiki>...]]</nowiki></code>
**For best results, your map image width should be 290px.
**See the [[WP:USRD/MTF|WP:USRD maps task force]] for maps for roads in the United States.
*'''photo''' or '''image:''' image name of a photo for the route, without the <code>File:</code> [[Help:Namespace|namespace]] prefix, which the template will place into an [[Help:Image|image link]] for you. For example, <code>photo=''photo_name''|photo_alt=''alt text''</code> will render as: <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:''photo_name''|290px|alt=''alt text''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></code>.
**'''photo_alt''' or '''image_alt:''' alt text for the photo, for visually impaired readers. See [[WP:ALT]]. This parameter should be specified if '''photo''' is specified.
**'''photo_notes''' or '''image_notes:''' an optional parameter with text to display along with the photo.
**This set of parameters will not work for articles in the United States per [[WP:USRD]] consensus.
*'''length_mi''' or '''length_km:''' length of the route in miles (in countries where the imperial system is used) or kilometres (in countries where the metric system is used). Only one can be used in an article. The value from the one defined is the one that appears first. The other is calculated and rounded to the same level of precision as the stated value. If neither "length_mi" nor "length_km" exists, no length is displayed.
**'''length_round:''' number of decimal places to be used in the conversion. If the length should be converted to a greater precision than the given value, adjust '''length_round''' to match but be sure to avoid [[false precision]].
**'''length_ref''', if defined, appears after the first length. Use a citation for the length or {{tl|fact}} here. Be sure that the first length is the one for which you have a reference.
**'''length_notes''', if defined, appears as a note below the length. This can be used to show former length, or future length, etc.
*'''established:''' this is the date the route was commissioned or assigned to its current alignment. (Alternate parameter: '''formed''')
*'''decommissioned:''' date the route was [[decommissioned highway|decommissioned]] (Alternate parameter: '''deleted''')
*'''history:''' a brief summary of the route's history. Typically used in place of the above two parameters.
*'''tourist:''' a list of the tourist routes that follow the route. Currently only set up for use in New Zealand, Canada, and the US.
*'''restrictions:''' a brief mention of any restrictions on the road. Examples include regular seasonal closures or permit requirements needed by motorists.
===Major intersections===
*'''beltway_city''', '''orbital''' or '''loop:''' for beltways, orbitals or loop roads only. This is the city that the beltway/orbital/loop encircles. The output differs between the three to accommodate variation in English for different geographic areas.
*'''direction_a:''' for U.S. roads, this should be either "South" or "West" per the [[WP:USRD/STDS|standards]] set by [[WP:USRD|the U.S. Roads project]]. For roads in other jurisdictions, consult that area's WikiProject to determine which direction to put here.
*'''terminus_a''' or '''end_a''': this is where the route begins and, for U.S. roads, is either at the southern terminus or western terminus
*'''junction:''' a list of major junctions. Each WikiProject has different standards for major junctions, so consult the relevant WikiProject for more details.
*'''direction_b:''' The opposite of "direction_a"
*'''terminus_b''' or '''end_b''': where the route ends, in accordance with the guidelines set forth with terminus_a
This template is capable of creating separate "major intersection" sections for individual segments of a route that is split into two to four segments. The parameters associated with this feature are:
*'''section#''', where # is the number of the segment (1 being the first entered into the infobox, 2 being the next, and so on). By default, the text "Major intersections" is replaced in the header with "Section #"; this parameter allows for a custom header to be used.
*'''length_mi#''' or '''length_km#:''' "length_mi" or "length_km" for the # segment
**'''length_round#:''' "length_round" for the # segment
**'''length_ref#:''' "length_ref" for the # segment
**'''length_notes#:''' "length_notes" for the # segment
*'''direction_a:''' same as described above; however, in this usage it will provide a default direction for the beginning point of all of the segments. If the direction of one endpoint is different, use '''direction_a#''' for that endpoint.
*'''terminus_a#''' or '''end_a#''': "terminus_a"/"end_a" for the # segment
*'''junction#:''' "junction" for the # segment
*'''direction_b:''' same as described above; however, in this usage it will provide a default direction for the ending point of all of the segments. If the direction of one endpoint is different, use '''direction_b#''' for that endpoint.
*'''terminus_b#''' or '''end_b#''': for the # segment
===Location===
This infobox has several parameters to list locations; however, many are restricted to use in only certain regions or countries for various reasons, including but not limited to local WikiProject consensus and common sense (for example, "countries" shouldn't be used on intra-country articles, and since the only locations with [[rural municipalities]] are Manitoba and Saskatchewan, "rural_municipalities" should be used there and nowhere else).

==Parameters==
===Numbered roads===
These parameters are typically used only for numbered routes.
*'''country:''' the [[ISO 3166-1]] alpha-3 code of the country that the route is in. Use [[ISO 3166-1#Current codes|this list]] to find the correct code for the country. [[Template:Infobox road/doc/country|These countries]] have had the necessary subtemplates set up; see that page for instructions on how to set up new countries. If the route is located in Australia, the United States, Canada, or Mexico, ''and'' the route is located within one state or province use '''state''' (Australia, US, and Mexico) or '''province''' (Canada) instead. The "state" and "province" parameters are ''not'' interchangeable. Accepted values for these two parameters are as follows:
**'''Australian state:''' the two-letter abbreviation of the state. '''Note:''' <code>|country=AUS</code> must also be set if the state is NT or WA to avoid conflicts with other countries.
**'''U.S. state:''' the two-letter [[United States postal abbreviations|postal abbreviation]] of the state.
**'''Canadian province:''' the two-letter [[Canadian subnational postal abbreviations|postal abbreviation]] of the province.
**'''Mexican state:''' the three-letter [[ISO 3166-2:MX]] code of the state, minus the "MX-" prefix.
*'''type:''' the type of route the article is about. See [[Template:Infobox road/doc/type|this page]] for a list.
*'''subtype:''' the type of [[special route]] that the article route is, if applicable
*'''county:''' the county associated with the route that the article is about. Use only for county routes.
*'''route:''' the number of the route.
*'''section:''' the section of code that defines this route. Very few areas use this, and the appropriate subpage (<nowiki>[[/law/USA]]</nowiki> for example) must be set up for the parameter to work. The state of Minnesota also uses '''subsection''' to specify the exact section of the legal code definition.
*'''spur_type:''' defines the type of route that the route is a spur of. Use for [[spur route]]s, such as a loop road, bypass, alternate route, business route, truck route, or other type of route. Example: Use WV for [[West Virginia Route 10 Alternate]].
*'''spur_of:''' defines what the parent route is, such as [[Highway 7A (Ontario)|Highway 7A]]'s parent is [[Highway 7 (Ontario)|Highway 7]], or [[Interstate 110 (disambiguation)|Interstate 110]]'s parent is [[Interstate 10]]. The usual text that would go here is the road number, such as "7" or "10" or "500".
*'''previous_type:''' this is the type of route that proceeds the current one in the system. See [[Template:Infobox road/doc/type|this page]] for a list.
*'''previous_route:''' the number of the route preceding this one
*'''previous_dab:''' any disambiguation needed to generate the correct link to the previous route
*'''browse_route:''' the route associated with the current browse row. Typically used only if the browsing route is not the route that the rest of the infobox is about.
*'''next_type:''' same as "previous_type" but for the route following this one
*'''next_route:''' the number of the route succeeding this one
*'''next_dab:''' same as "previous_dab" but for the route following this one
*'''browse:''' use to add additional browse lines, which are generated by templates similar to {{tl|ny browse}}. These templates accept the seven parameters given above plus "county"; however, "route" is used instead of "browse_route".
===Historical roads===
These parameters are typically used only for roads of a historic nature, such as the [[Silk Road]].
*'''time_period:''' the time period that the road existed in.
**'''established_by:''' the body that built or established the road. Used only in conjunction with "time_period".
**'''significance:''' the historical/cultural significance of the route. Used only in conjunction with "time_period".
**'''related:''' roads related to the historical road. Used only in conjunction with "time_period".
===Route information===
*'''marker_image:''' shield image to be displayed. Requires full wiki markup. Typically not needed for numbered routes.
*'''name:''' road name to be displayed. Typically not needed for numbered routes.
*'''maint:''' the agency that maintains the highway. If the appropriate subpage (<nowiki>[[/maint/USA]]</nowiki> for example) exists and a specific jurisdiction is specified (such as "state=AZ"), this parameter will be filled in automatically with that jurisdiction's department of transportation. "maint" still works, however, if the default agency needs to be overwritten, for instance if the route is maintained by another agency.
*'''alternate_name:''' Use in situations where the '''''entire route''''' has another name. For example, [[New York State Route 590]] is called the Sea Breeze Expressway for its entire length.
*'''map:''' image name of a map for the route, without the <code>File:</code> [[Help:Namespace|namespace]] prefix, which the template will place into an [[Help:Image|image link]] for you. For example, <code>map=''map_name''|map_alt=''alt text''</code> will render as: <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:''map_name''|290x172px|alt=''alt text''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></code>.
**'''map_alt:''' alt text for the map, for visually impaired readers. See [[WP:ALT]]. This parameter should be specified if '''map''' is specified.
**'''map_notes:''' an optional parameter with text to display along with the map.
**'''map_custom:''' optionally set to ''yes'' if you want to override the template's default image link; then you may specify your own complete image link with: <code><nowiki>map=[[File:</nowiki>''map_name''|<nowiki>...]]</nowiki></code>
**For best results, your map image width should be 290px.
**See the [[WP:USRD/MTF|WP:USRD maps task force]] for maps for roads in the United States.
*'''photo''' or '''image:''' image name of a photo for the route, without the <code>File:</code> [[Help:Namespace|namespace]] prefix, which the template will place into an [[Help:Image|image link]] for you. For example, <code>photo=''photo_name''|photo_alt=''alt text''</code> will render as: <code><nowiki>[[</nowiki>File:''photo_name''|290px|alt=''alt text''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></code>.
**'''photo_alt''' or '''image_alt:''' alt text for the photo, for visually impaired readers. See [[WP:ALT]]. This parameter should be specified if '''photo''' is specified.
**'''photo_notes''' or '''image_notes:''' an optional parameter with text to display along with the photo.
**This set of parameters will not work for articles in the United States per [[WP:USRD]] consensus.
*'''length_mi''' or '''length_km:''' length of the route in miles (in countries where the imperial system is used) or kilometres (in countries where the metric system is used). Only one can be used in an article. The value from the one defined is the one that appears first. The other is calculated and rounded to the same level of precision as the stated value. If neither "length_mi" nor "length_km" exists, no length is displayed.
**'''length_round:''' number of decimal places to be used in the conversion. If the length should be converted to a greater precision than the given value, adjust '''length_round''' to match but be sure to avoid [[false precision]].
**'''length_ref''', if defined, appears after the first length. Use a citation for the length or {{tl|fact}} here. Be sure that the first length is the one for which you have a reference.
**'''length_notes''', if defined, appears as a note below the length. This can be used to show former length, or future length, etc.
*'''established:''' this is the date the route was commissioned or assigned to its current alignment. (Alternate parameter: '''formed''')
*'''decommissioned:''' date the route was [[decommissioned highway|decommissioned]] (Alternate parameter: '''deleted''')
*'''history:''' a brief summary of the route's history. Typically used in place of the above two parameters.
*'''tourist:''' a list of the tourist routes that follow the route. Currently only set up for use in New Zealand, Canada, and the US.
*'''restrictions:''' a brief mention of any restrictions on the road. Examples include regular seasonal closures or permit requirements needed by motorists.
===Major intersections===
*'''beltway_city''', '''orbital''' or '''loop:''' for beltways, orbitals or loop roads only. This is the city that the beltway/orbital/loop encircles. The output differs between the three to accommodate variation in English for different geographic areas.
*'''direction_a:''' for U.S. roads, this should be either "South" or "West" per the [[WP:USRD/STDS|standards]] set by [[WP:USRD|the U.S. Roads project]]. For roads in other jurisdictions, consult that area's WikiProject to determine which direction to put here.
*'''terminus_a''' or '''end_a''': this is where the route begins and, for U.S. roads, is either at the southern terminus or western terminus
*'''junction:''' a list of major junctions. Each WikiProject has different standards for major junctions, so consult the relevant WikiProject for more details.
*'''direction_b:''' The opposite of "direction_a"
*'''terminus_b''' or '''end_b''': where the route ends, in accordance with the guidelines set forth with terminus_a
This template is capable of creating separate "major intersection" sections for individual segments of a route that is split into two to four segments. The parameters associated with this feature are:
*'''section#''', where # is the number of the segment (1 being the first entered into the infobox, 2 being the next, and so on). By default, the text "Major intersections" is replaced in the header with "Section #"; this parameter allows for a custom header to be used.
*'''length_mi#''' or '''length_km#:''' "length_mi" or "length_km" for the # segment
**'''length_round#:''' "length_round" for the # segment
**'''length_ref#:''' "length_ref" for the # segment
**'''length_notes#:''' "length_notes" for the # segment
*'''direction_a:''' same as described above; however, in this usage it will provide a default direction for the beginning point of all of the segments. If the direction of one endpoint is different, use '''direction_a#''' for that endpoint.
*'''terminus_a#''' or '''end_a#''': "terminus_a"/"end_a" for the # segment
*'''junction#:''' "junction" for the # segment
*'''direction_b:''' same as described above; however, in this usage it will provide a default direction for the ending point of all of the segments. If the direction of one endpoint is different, use '''direction_b#''' for that endpoint.
*'''terminus_b#''' or '''end_b#''': for the # segment
===Location===
This infobox has several parameters to list locations; however, many are restricted to use in only certain regions or countries for various reasons, including but not limited to local WikiProject consensus and common sense (for example, "countries" shouldn't be used on intra-country articles, and since the only locations with [[rural municipalities]] are Manitoba and Saskatchewan, "rural_municipalities" should be used there and nowhere else).
