Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Shields task force/Requests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You can request missing or custom shields below. Your request will then be handled by a participant of the shields department. Instructions and guidelines are provided below. Requests will typically be handled by a member of the shields department; however, they can be completed by anyone willing to take on the request.

Guidelines
  • Please be respectful. The editors who create shields are volunteers; give them enough time to create the requested shields while working at their own pace and leisure.
  • If there is a large, repetitive group of graphics needed, please try to request them all at once. When a large request is fulfilled, do not immediately make another large request.
  • Consider using pre-made templates to make the desired shields yourself. Instructions for using the templates are given on the tutorial page.
  • It is currently the working policy of the project that county routes are generally not notable enough to receive their own articles, nor major enough to appear in most junction lists. If you are here to request county route shields, please ensure your request is truly necessary.
Requesting shields
  • Click on the "new section" tab atop the page next to the "edit" link or click the big blue button. Request shields
  • Fill in the fields as follows:
    • Subject/headline: A description of your request; this is typically the name of the road(s) that you are requesting a shield for.
    • Edit box:
      • List the shields that you are requesting and include a wikilink to the main article for each shield. A link Interstate 10 would be provided when requesting File:I-10.svg.
      • If it is not clear what the file is supposed to look like, please attach a picture of what the file should look like. Example
      • Don't forget to sign at the end!
  • Click "Save page".
  • You may also use the "needs-shield" parameter in the project banner on the talk page of the article that needs the shield. Just add |needs-shield=yes and the article will be added to Category:U.S. Roads project articles needing shields.
Completing a request
  • To accept a request, type '''Accepted''' or {{Doing}} in your response to the request.
  • To decline a request, mark the request with {{Not done}} and explain why the files were not made.
  • Unless they are non-free files, upload all files to Commons.
  • Mark completed requests with {{Done}}.
  • If a request is resolved and {{Done}} or {{Not done}} are not applicable, mark it with {{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}
  • Marked requests will be archived automatically.

Arizona State Route 505

Requesting Loop 505 shield (File:Arizona 505.svg), for Arizona State Route 505

(Also, could be updated to replace , which is being used on an article but does not fit WP standards.) GenericCacti (talk) 01:12, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Florida State Road 686A Toll

We currently have File:Florida 686A.svg but the road is a toll road, and needs a Florida Toll Road shield (as seen here). - The Bushranger One ping only 09:05, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

More county roads in Volusia County, Florida

The List of county roads in Volusia County, Florida needs shields for File:Volusia County 2802.svg, File:Volusia County 2804.svg, File:Volusia County 2806.svg, File:Volusia County 2808.svg, File:Volusia County 4002.svg, and File:Volusia County 4014.svg. And if and when I find more, I'll request those too. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 03:47, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

K-39 Spur

Need a K-39 spur shield for List of state highways in Kansas. The sign shield needs to be a 1948 Kansas highway shield, as K-39 spur was decommissioned circa 1960. The sign will also be needed for the history section of "K-39 (Kansas highway)". 420Traveler (talk) 19:50, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

St. Johns County Road 5A

New shield for the infobox in the St. Johns County Road 5A segment of the Florida State Road 5A article. Proof of the existence of the route can be found here, among other photographs. -------User:DanTD (talk) 19:49, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

Savannah River Scenic Byway

I'm looking to make an article referring to the Savannah River Scenic Byway, and I need a shield that refers to it. It has a brown shield consisting of the South Carolina outline, a tree, and water waves. Proof of existence/signage can be found here and here. TopG741 (talk) 03:45, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Holmes Beach City Route/Anna Maria City Route 789

I am looking to make yet another article regarding City Route 789, which is a former segment of FL 789. The shield has several variants (due to directional arrows being inside the shield), but the best shield that may possibly be displayed is this shield, although the others would work fine. Proof of existence can be found here.

US 221Y shield (1969-1988)

I need this for former special routes of US 221. Some information can be found here. TopG741 (talk) 20:58, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

Are you sure it was signed that way? Just because its on paper does not mean it really existed. This was later identified as a connector route. Also, vahighways is not considered a valid source on Wikipedia. --WashuOtaku (talk) 21:04, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
