GTA Wiki:Manual of Style/Roads

This article lists the Manual of Style for street and road articles on the GTA Wiki. We advise to use this as a guide if you wish to create or improve articles that fit this category.

Overview
The manual of style for road articles is relatively basic when compared to other types of articles. It advises to use a range of media, including images and audio, presented in an array of formats, including a table, infobox and navigation box. Where possible, lists are advised.

Format
Expand each section for a detailed overview, guide and examples of how to format the corresponding section. Section formats marked ★ are mandatory sections.

Cul-de-sacs or rural tracks are excluded from this requirement.

The table should have columns titled:
 * Location: Where a specific range of intersections are located with regards to district or neighbourhood.
 * Type: The type of intersection. This is to include an image of the intersection type from the Jmark template.
