Style notes[edit]

A couple style notes:

  • I thought it made more sense for the section headers to be translated titles so it's easier to understand the section layout / table of contents.
  • When a route goes from A to B, that is an A–B route. Use an ndash or, if either of the places is expressed in more than one word, a spaced ndash. (This was generally done right in the tables but a little inconsistent in the prose.)
  • Foreign words and phrases are styled with italics. You can enclose Portuguese language in {{lang-pt}} if you wish. However, proper names from a foreign language are capitalized but do not get italics. For example, we don't italicize foreign place names. So you have Plano Rodoviário Nacional de 2000 (capitalized proper name) but itinerários principais (foreign-language phrase) per MOS:FOREIGNITALIC. (I suppose if it's a law there might be some rationale for italics, but by and large the laws seemed to be numbered rather than named.)
  • Italics did not seem right to me for the style of route coding, like Axx or IPxx (specifically speaking of the instances with xx, not with actual numbers). It might be worth using something like bracing these with <code> markup to produce Axx. I like the back-coloured signage in the tables and lists, but it might stand out too much in the prose.
