Summary

This datalayer represents the 'major roads' in the Commonwealth from the Massachusetts Highway Department (MHD) Roads datalayer. Four classes of road are included: Limited Access Highways (such as Interstates with on- and off-ramps as the only means of access), Multi-lane Highways without limited access, Other Numbered Highways (such as state and Federal routes that are not included in the previous two categories), and Major Road-Collectors (non-numbered routes that connect numbered routes). These major roads are stored as one statewide coverage.
