This new page is currently undergoing modifications. The information presented should be considered a draft, not yet ready for use. Content is being prepared by one or more users. Do not make any changes before you post a message in this forum.

This page is being developed as a template for all USA state pages. Current pages being considered as a guideline for some or all of their content include:


Cities and towns

What is the primary goal of this section? Are there states with cities that are unnamed? Or is this more about when and how to name CDPs?

There are 169 cities and towns in the state. See Connecticut/Cities and towns for proper naming information.

Major roads

The state specific page for Roads by type (third link below) does not appear to be active for most states and would be removed for states that don't have it.

The state follows the general road naming and type guidelines of the USA. See Road names/USA, Road types/USA and Connecticut/Roads by type.

Places

If a state has specific guidelines different from the rest of the country, it would be noted here.

<!--Modify details as applicable for STATENAME.-->

STATENAME follows the USA standard for Places.

Major construction projects

Some states have a full subpage on tracking construction projects and others just link to the state's DOT.gov page.

<!--Replace content with applicable material for state.-->

The major construction projects for STATENAME can be found on this DOT web page.

Special roads

Non-drivable roads

<!--Modify details as applicable for STATENAME.-->


Speed / red light cameras

TEXT HERE

Speed cameras (are/are not) legal in STATENAME. Red light cameras (are/are not) legal in STATENAME.


<!--Some states have additional regulations or specific localities that relate to speed and red light cameras.-->

To do list

Some states have it and others don't. I recommend we always make it an entire subpage.

If you are an active editor in this state, consider reviewing the "to do" list for the state at STATENAME/To do list.

Mapping resources

Virtually every state has links to other resources

The following links can be helpful when editing STATENAME.

<!--Add links to resources applicable for STATENAME.-->


Forum

Most states have this already, so it should be easy to match for all states.

The Waze forum is a great place to find answers to previously asked questions and also a place to ask new ones. Below is a link to the forum specific to STATENAME as well as the main USA forum page.


Area Managers

Most states already use this same basic format, so we might as well all use it. This is from Connecticut.

The table below identifies the editors with a rank at least that of an Area Manager who participate in editing in STATENAME. If you have any questions, please consider contacting them directly as needed.
