Welcome to
WikiProject U.S. Streets
. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of U.S. Streets and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please
join
the project, inquire on the
talk page
and see the
to-do list
below.
The scope of this project is two-fold:
- To cover city streets in articles that focus on the local roadway(s) of an urbanized area
- To coordinate with city-level or state-level wikiprojects as well as
WP:USRD
on these articles
The main goal of this project is to work on city and local streets and get them to Featured articles on Wikipedia. By removing these articles from the scope of WikiProject U.S. Roads, that not only clarifies what both projects are intended for, but creates a forum for users from city projects (such as
WikiProject Philadelphia
,
WikiProject New York City
) and the other roads projects.

The chart at the right displays a breakdown of the articles tagged and assessed as a part of the project. The chart shows the numbers of each class of article in terms of their quality or importance assessments. These determinations are based on
the assessment criteria
. Various past
precedents
have been set for dealing with articles related to city streets in the US as well.

tagged
(e.g.
{{
