New Infoboxes and Templates [Wiki] and "Order has to be"

$

I created two new Infoboxes for:
- Roads (means Highways, Trunks/Expressways, Primary Roads, (Secondary Roads))
- Landscapes

Infobox Road

The infobox road is usable for large connection roads, like highways, trunks/expressways and primary roads, maybe also secondary roads. For minor roads and streets in towns and other residential areas, please use the Infobox street, which offers more details for suburban areas.

In addition to infoboxes, I created some courses of highways, which aren't finished yet. Highway 1 (Gobrassanya). The symbols on the left are the templates I created for interchanges, exits, ... As they're drawn in 5 minutes, they don't seem like much, so maybe someone who is interested in symbols, can draw some nicer versions or add additional symbols? Resolution is 28x28px. A complete category about the symbols can be found here.

Infobox Landscape

I don't have to say much about that, I guess. A simple infobox that shows general informations about a landscape.

Feel free to edit the infoboxes and add additional informations, if you're aknowledged with the theme.

For first I overwatched the already existing "Infobox street", so is there a category that shows all infoboxes? If not, there should be one, to beware of multiple infoboxes.

Order is important!

As I saw some road infoboxes are already taken for other countries, which is nice to notice. I tried to create a system for highway images, templates, ... in Gobrassanya. Maybe, it would useful to make all road article namings (and numerations) in a special system.

I have the following idea of article naming:
"Highway 1 (Gobrassanya)"
"Expressway 323 (Gobrassanya)"
"Primary Road 13 (Gobrassanya)"
"Secondary Road 12 (Gobrassanya)"
...
(See the numbers of the roads just as random, the structure of the article name is important)

I think this is a good system of structuring the data in the wiki. Images of the reference numbers just get .png at the end so it is

"Highway 1 (Gobrassanya).png" or
"Highway 3 (Commonia).png" ...
"Expressway 38 (Gobrassanya).png"

Images of the highway course as they're used in my infoboxes (as seen at highway 1 infobox) could be named with "Map" at the beginning:

"Map Highway 1 (Gobrassanya).png"

What do you think about a unified naming of roads after the following scheme?

"Street-Type Number (Country)"

This system could only be used for country roads++, suburb streets have to have the city name instead of the country name in brackets.
