For the former failed proposal, see .

Per the Arbitration Committee Highways case Remedy #5: Consensus encouraged, this poll has been devised to create a guideline regarding the naming of United States state highways.

All portions of the poll are now complete. The results are available below.

Note: This timeline is not set in stone. Dates can be adjusted if there are not enough votes.

Since this is such a large debate, it needs to be broken down into chunks (that are spaced apart enough so that we don't get tired and so we can cool down...also, the dishes need to be done. :)

Q: Why such a long process?

Q: Will states have leeway to choose their own name?

Q:What if a state already has a stable convention?

The editors named below are the judging administrators of this poll, who have volunteered their time to keep this poll sane and to help and encourage editors to follow the ground rules of this poll. A round of applause for all five six of them.

Part I has concluded. For the discussion and votes, please click here.

The principle adopted was Principle I. The format of all state highway article titles shall be [State Name] [Road Term] XX with the exception of Kansas and Michigan (explained ).

Administrators have adjusted the outcome as follows: .

Every state (except MI and KS) must follow P1 at some point in the future (that point varies depending on the situation in the state). States that will temporarily remain at P2 (NJ, CT, WI, TX, and OK) can be moved once someone is willing to do the work -- even if that person is from outside the project, and even if the project objects.

Part II has concluded. For the discussions, votes, and individual conventions ratified, please click here.
