The shield can be added to articles with this template SK specific images and colours at {{User:Pomte/Template:SK road shield}} and {{Template:SK hwy tiny shield}} For their use see Saskatchewan Highway 2..Use the larger coding for the main article highway shield. Use municipal for highway numbers greater than 700 generally speaking (green shield)...use provincial for highway numbers less than 700. Some highways have their own shield such as Hwy 1, 6, 11, 16 for example. Use the tiny shields in the junction box for highways the article highway intersects.

Be sure to change county to county_special as well as location to location_special Template:Jctint which is a template for generating a junction list for a route article. Use the modified template SKinttop to achieve headings of Rural municipality and kilometer rather than mile.
