This is an essay on style. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more WikiProjects on how to format and present article content within their area of interest. This information is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community.

This page in a nutshell: This page lists best practices developed since 2005. These practices have been fine-tuned by WP:FAC. This page is very real.

The U.S. Roads WikiProject (USRD) developed these article standards for page formatting and layout based on best practices developed through dozens of Featured Article Candidacies and other discussions involving the wider Wikipedia community. These standards are not set in stone, however, and can be ignored if warranted for a particular highway article, but they should be used on nearly all highway articles under this project's scope. The state task force pages may contain additional guidelines that supplement or clarify these standards. If someone finds a case where the Wikipedia Manual of Style (MOS) and these standards conflict, that editor should follow the MOS and let USRD know so this document can be updated.
