Scope and goals
editTo develop and standardize articles on Illinois State Routes, according to the recommended article structure, below.
Highways to include
edit- All known numbered Illinois state routes
- Notable non-Interstate highways (Elgin-O'Hare Expressway, Kingery Highway)
- Interstate and U.S. Route state-level detail pages (U.S. Route 20 in Illinois)
- Lists of Illinois county highways (List of County Highways in DuPage County, Illinois)
- Historical road trails (Lincoln Highway, Cannon Ball Route)
Any and all ordinary Interstate Highways, whether two or three digits or entirely in the state of Illinois, are covered under WikiProject U.S. Interstate Highways. Please use the standards on those pages.

Recognized content
editThis is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:Illinois road transport articles) correctly and wait for the next update.

Structure and standards
editSee WP:USRD/STDS for the article standards and structure.
Categories
editThere are a few guidelines for which categories to put these articles in, but overcategorization is a definite concern. Place Illinois State Route articles in the following categories:
- Category:State highways in Illinois. Use the following sort keys:
- 1di and 2di highways: [[Category:State highways in Illinois|0xx]] where xx is the number of the route
- 3di highways: [[Category:State highways in Illinois|y|xx]] where yxx is the number of the route
- The category for each county the route runs through, i.e. Category:Tazewell County, Illinois.
- Avoid categories for each individual city on the route. Categories for major cities are acceptable.
- Categories for notable highways but not Illinois state routes
Use these for things like Lincoln Highway or Kingery Expressway, not Illinois Route 1.
