You can recommend facts for the Did you know? section on the U.S. roads portal. DYK facts do not need to be Wikipedia DYKs. Additionally, unlike Wikipedia DYK, facts do not need to be from newly created or expanded articles. List the fact you would like to recommend below under next month's heading as you want it to be displayed, then sign. The first five will be displayed next month; any extra facts will be held over to the following month.

No voting is necessary; however, discussion regarding a fact is welcomed.
