This module is used to store type data for use with several road templates, including {{tl|jct}} and {{tl|routelist row}}.
Background information and a summary of the syntax are listed below.

This module exports the following types:

==Syntax==

===Hierarchy and fields===

Line 20 ⟶ 23:

*<code>abbr</code> determines the displayed abbreviation.

Other common fields in road data tables

====Other types====

*<code>shieldmain</code> is used when a different shield is desired at the top of an infobox, such as for county roads.

Line 38 ⟶ 41:

*<code>banner</code> stores the name of the special route plate, such as <code>[[:File:Business plate.svg|Business plate.svg]]</code>. Can be omitted when unused.

*<code>width</code> stores a code representing the width of the shield. It is most often helpful when used with <code>banner</code>. Can be omitted entirely when unused.; Commoncommon values are <code>square</code> and <code>expand</code>.

*<code>section</code> stores the specific section number for those routes that are defined by law.

*<code>width</code> stores a code representing the width of the shield. It is most often helpful when used with <code>banner</code>. Can be omitted entirely when unused. Common values are <code>square</code> and <code>expand</code>.

*<code>translation</code> specifies the native language name of the route displayed by an infobox

*<code>lang</code> is the [[List of ISO 639-2 codes|ISO 639-2]] code of the native language; this code is used by {{tl|Lang}} and [[Template:Lang#Language-specific templates|Lang-<i>xx</i> templates]].

PER.RN = {

shield = "PE-%route% route sign.svg",

name = "National Route %route%",

link = "Peru Highway %route%",

abbr = "PE-%route%",

translation = "Ruta nacional %route%",

lang = "es-pe"

}

</syntaxhighlight>

Once a type is defined, it can be referred toreferenced later in the code. As seen here, it is common to define all parameters for main types like <code>US</code> and then to use aliases for subtypes such as <code>US-Alt</code>.
