Oneida County does not post its county routes with standard pentagon shields. However, the number is often given on intersection signs, as shown above. Even numbers are generally north-south, and odd numbers are east-west, although this rule is not strictly followed. Numbering progresses from south to north, and from east to west, across the County. Letter suffixes are used for routes that fall between numbers in the pattern, and are often short routes associated with the unsuffixed number. The highest numbers are used for newer routes and are more or less scattered.

Oneida County routes are densely distributed in the southwestern part of the County, and more moderately so elsewhere. They are usually long routes, comprising several sections of named roads to form a continuous (although often interrupted) path.

In the "Towns" column, CITIES are also listed; no county roads enter any Village, the Cities of Utica and Sherrill, nor the inner tax boundary of the City of Rome. Location references to the last are given with respect to this inner boundary.
