When naming an article about a road, street, or other thoroughfare, one should choose the most commonly used name as the name of the article. For instance, [[Interstate 110]] is also Florida State Road 8A — but it is much more commonly referred to by the former. Also, one should use the full form of a road's name as the article title, in lieu of any nicknames or short forms. For example: [[Interstate 10]] would be correct; [[I-10]] would not. [[Airport Boulevard]] would be correct; [[Airport Blvd]] would not. However, it is a good idea to create redirects to the main article using short forms or nicknames. | When naming an article about a road, street, or other thoroughfare, one should choose the most commonly used name as the name of the article.
