[edit] Resources

  • Highway Reference Information - Utah Department of Transportation, these are the official milage logs for all routes under UDOT's control. This is an official resource for exit lists or mile markers.
  • Highway Resolutions - Utah Department of Transportation, This is a pdf for each former and current state route. The PDF a time line of the legislative description of the route, as well as scanned copies of legislative motions related to each route. A valuable resource for the route history section.
  • Utah Highways by Dan Stober This is a personal website that is useful for background information on even obscure routes in Utah. However, several wikipedia editors have found minor errors such as incorrect dates and some apparent typos on old US highway numbers. Any errors can usually be found by comparing his route description with the above UDOT links.
  • Utah Legislature This is the website for The Utah Code where highway are officially defined.
  • Utah Digital Newspapers
  • UDOT Downloads - Should be something worth finding in here, it's pretty comprehensive but most of it isn't applicable to state routes
  • 1937 road map

[edit] Lists


[edit] Structure

Articles should follow WP:USRD/STDS.

[edit] Naming convention

Articles on signed routes are to be named "Utah State Route N" (where N is the route number assigned by the DOT) per WP:USSH.

[edit] Law section

Many older Utah Route articles have the law where the route is defined as a separate section. The infobox road template now supports the Utah Law with the "section" field. As articles are updated the Law section should be removed and the infobox updated.

[edit] Categories

All state highways should include the category tag: [[Category:State highways in Utah|nnn]] where nnn is 3-digit route number (e.g. Route 1 is "001", Route 2 is "002"). Category:Utah Scenic Byways should be added where applicable.
