Description
Abstract
An Arc Layer for visual representation of a subset of road characteristics for the state road system. Each arc/record is split where road characteristics change along a route. This is a digital file of the North Carolina Department of Transportation's road inventory database that represents a subset of road characteristic attributes of the NCDOT state road system. The state road system is comprised of Interstate, US, NC, Secondary Routes, and Ramps. This layer also includes some non-state maintained and projected roads that are required for reporting purposes.

Data quality is tracked using the revision document fields (REVDOC_TYP_CD and REVDOC_NUM). Legacy data are coded as not verified. These data are updated on an ongoing basis to improve data quality and the revision document fields are updated accordingly. As new data are added the geometry and spatial location are verified with the most current information available.

Purpose
For visual representation of the basic roads maintained by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.

Supplementary Information
1) This file should not be used for routing.
