  1. Title: United States National Bridge Inventory, 2008

    • Point data
    • 2008
    Contributors:

    Summary: National Bridge Inventory is a point theme representing bridges in the United States. The NBI is a collection of information (database) covering the more than 600,000 bridges located on public roads, including Interstate Highways, U.S. highways, State and county roads, as well as publicly-accessible bridges on Federal lands. It presents a State by State summary analysis of the number, location, and general condition of highway bridges within each State. Although the inventory contains locational information, it's accuracy is unverified, and in many cases the information is not provided or incorrect. Using information from the inventory, an attempt was made to conflate the bridges to a common reference network, TeleAtlas's DynaMap for Transportation. Over 75% of the inventory was successfully conflated. the remaining bridges are included in this shapefile, but are located at longitude-latitude 0-0.

    Contributors:

    Summary: The National Highway Planning Network is a line theme representing the major highway system in the United States. It consists of the nation's highways comprised of Rural Arterials, Urban Principal Arterials and all National Highway System routes. The data set covers the 48 contiguous States plus the District of Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The nominal scale of the data set is 1:100,000 with a maximal positional error of 80 meters.

  4. Title: United States Automatic Traffic Recorders (ATR), 2008

    • Point data
    • 2008
    Contributors:

    Summary: Automatic Traffic Recorders (ATR) is a point theme representing Weigh-in-Motion (WIM), and Automatic Traffic Counters (ATR) in the United States The data included in the GIS Traffic Stations Version database have been assimilated from station description files provided by FHWA for Weigh-in-Motion (WIM), and Automatic Traffic Counters (ATR). Location referencing information was derived from the National Highway Planning Network version 4.0. and State offices of Transportation The attributes on the point elements of the database have come from two primary sources, the Station Description Records and the National Highway Planning Network's Linear Referencing System. The attributes for these databases have been intentionally limited to location referencing attributes since the core station description attribute data are contained within the Station Description Tables (SDT). There is a separate Station Description Table (SDT) for each of the different station types; WIM, and ATR. The attributes in the Station Description Table correspond with the Station Description Record found in Chapter 6 of the latest Traffic Monitoring Guide. The SDT contains the most recent stations available for each state and station type. This table was derived from files provided UTCTR by FHWA. The Station Description Table can be linked to the station shapefile via the STNNKEY field . A single exception table containing records for those stations that could not be located is provided for WIM, and ATR stations. Generally, this table contains records where location descriptions were not clear enough to locate a station. It is hoped that FHWA will be able to contact the States for a more detailed description

  9. Title: USA (Highway Performance Monitoring System, 2006)

    • Line data
    • 2006
    Contributors:

    Summary: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has the responsibility to assure that adequate highway transportation information is available to support its functions and responsibilities, including those of the Administration and the Congress. The primary purpose of the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) is to serve these data and information needs. The HPMS provides data that reflects the extent, condition, performance, use, and operating characteristics of the nation's highways.The HPMS by itself is not geospatial data. It is linked to another FHWA dataset, the National Highway Planning Network (NHPN), through linear referencing. The NHPN provides the geospatial component of this dataset.

    • Line data
    • 2003
    Contributors:

    Summary: The spatial component of the FAF network is derived from National Highway Planning Network Version 3.0 and contains National Highway System (NHS), National Network (NN). It also contains 3,436 of non-roadway dummy links. The network consists of over 274,154 miles of equivalent road mileage. The data set covers the 48 contiguous States plus the District of Columbia. The nominal scale of the data set is 1:100,000 with a maximal positional error of ±80 meters.
