Illinois[edit]
Illinois Route X. Common and accepted abbreviations for the purposes of referencing elsewhere in the article: IL(L)(.) (RT(E)(.)) X, ILL-X, Illinois X. Route X is acceptable if it cannot be confused with another nearby U.S. or Interstate highway, which is unlikely at this time. Neither newspapers nor advertisements have a good track record (actually, they have a horrible track record) of telling apart U.S. and Illinois Routes, much less from Interstates. —Rob (talk) 05:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
