- Title:
- MDOT SHA Roadway Functional Classification [Maryland]
- Description:
- Esri ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Hosted Feature Layer which provides access to the MDOT SHA Roadway Functional Classification data product.MDOT SHA Roadway Functional Classification data consists of linear geometric features which showcase the functional classification of roadways throughout the State of Maryland. Roadway Functional Classification is defined as the role each roadway plays in moving vehicles throughout a network of highways. MDOT SHA Roadway Functional Classification data is primarily used for general planning purposes, and for Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) annual submission & coordination. The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) currently reports this data only on the inventory direction (generally North or East) side of the roadway. MDOT SHA Roadway Functional Classification data is not a complete representation of all roadway geometry.The State of Maryland's roadway system is a vast network that connects places and people within and across county borders. Planners and engineers have developed elements of this network with particular travel objectives in mind. These objectives range from serving long-distance passenger and freight needs to serving neighborhood travel from residential developments to nearby shopping centers. The functional classification of roadways defines the role each element of the roadway network plays in serving these travel needs. Over the years, functional classification has come to assume additional significance beyond its purpose as a framework for identifying the particular role of a roadway in moving vehicles through a network of highways. Functional classification carries with it expectations about roadway design, including its speed, capacity and relationship to existing and future land use development. Federal legislation continues to use functional classification in determining eligibility for funding under the Federal-aid program. Transportation agencies describe roadway system performance, benchmarks and targets by functional classification. As agencies continue to move towards a more performance-based management approach, functional classification will be an increasingly important consideration in setting expectations and measuring outcomes for preservation, mobility and safety.MDOT SHA Roadway Functional Classification data is developed as part of the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) which maintains and reports transportation related information to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on an annual basis. HPMS is maintained by the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA), under the Office of Planning & Preliminary Engineering (OPPE) Data Services Division (DSD). This data is used by various business units throughout MDOT, as well as many other Federal, State and local government agencies. Roadway Functional Classification data is key to understanding the role each roadway plays in moving vehicles throughout the State of Maryland's network of highways.MDOT SHA Roadway Functional Classification datais owned & maintained by the MDOT SHA Office of Planning & Preliminary Engineering (OPPE). This data productis updated & published on an annual basis for the prior year. This data product is for the year 2022.For more information related to the data, contact MDOT SHA OPPE Data Services Division (DSD):Email:DSD@mdot.maryland.govFor more information, contact MDOT SHA OIT Enterprise Information Services:Email:GIS@mdot.maryland.gov
