==== Roads named N, S, E or W ====
If you encounter any roads that are named N, S, E, or W, you must add a period (.) to the end of the letter. For example, West N Street is abbreviated as '''W N. St'''. County Road W is abbreviated as '''CR-W.''', and so on. This ensures the TTS system reads the road name as "County Road W" and not "County Road West."

State highways are to be named WY-###

Locking standard

In Wyoming, we observe a minimum standard for locking roads based on segment type. Any road of a certain segment type must be locked at least to the rank listed in the chart below. Roads may be locked higher for protection and special situations (construction, confusing design, frequent mistakes, image inaccuracies, etc.), but should not be locked lower.

Wyoming Minimum Locking Ranks

 Freeway  5
 Ramp  4
 Major Highway  4
 Minor Highway  3

Roads named N, S, E or W

If you encounter any roads that are named N, S, E, or W, you must add a period (.) to the end of the letter. For example, West N Street is abbreviated as W N. St. County Road W is abbreviated as CR-W., and so on. This ensures the TTS system reads the road name as "County Road W" and not "County Road West."
