This dataset contains Major Highways from the April 2018 version of the Florida Department of Transportation Roads Characteristics inventory (RCI) dataset. The dataset has been updated from the previous versions of FGDL.
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes
The RCI is a computerized database of physical and administrative data related to the roadway networks that are either maintained by or are of special interest to the Department. In addition to data required by the Department, the RCI contains other data as required for special Federal and State reporting obligations. The RCI is maintained by District and Central Office personnel. While there are many other important databases maintained by the Department (several that contain more highly technical data such as bridge specifications, highway design, or pavement) the RCI remains the largest database with over 1 million records.

Spatial and Attribute Information
The data set was taken from the Florida Department of Transportation Statistics Office from the following webpage: http://www.dot.state.fl.us/planning/statistics/gis The data set was originally downloaded as the RCI basemap. Specific instructions, created by URS Corporation and the GeoPlan Center, were carried out. The data set is then to be updated on a regular basis. The data was originally in UTM Zone 17, Nad83, units meters. The data was projected to Albers HPGN. -Select all DESCRIPTS containing the word "arterial" from MAJRDS -For more information please see MAJRDS metadata

Feature geometry.
ESRI
A unique 8-character identification number assigned to a roadway or section of a roadway either On or Off the State Highway System for which information is maintained in the Department's Roadway Characteristics Inventory (RCI).
FDOT
Denotes the lowest milepoint for the record.

FDOT
Status of the roadway or section or roadway. Pending (new construction anticipated to be added to the SHS). Active (route owned and maintained by FDOT)-Inactive (route kept for historic purposes). Active/Exclusive (ramps,frontage roads, etc.). Active/Off System (NOT part of the SHS and NOT maintained by FDOT). Active with Combination (roadway segment with two or more status values).

Lowest numerical posted US Route number
FDOT
Lowest numerical posted State Road number. FDOT roads are categorized as Interstate, U.S Route, State and County roads and are collectively called the "State Highway System" (SHS). All SHS roads have a state road number, indicated with a prefix of SR. County roads are also included in this characteristic, with a prefix of CR. If a road transfers from the SHS, the State Road Number is changed to a County Road Number in the database by changing the SR prefix to OS (Old State Road Number). After one year, the OS is changed to CR.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials. A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.
