Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><P><SPAN>The National Highway System consists of roadways important to the nation’s economy, defense, and mobility.

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Functional Classification refers to the character of services that a particular roadway is intended to</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>provide. In general, roads either serve to provide mobility for vehicles or access to locations. The process</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>of functional classification was mandated by Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>(ISTEA) and implemented in 1993 by the Office of Transportation Planning in cooperation with the 13</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Regional Planning Agencies. Roadways are divided into the following three classification categories:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN>Arterials: These roadways provide the highest level of mobility at the greatest vehicular speed for the</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>longest uninterrupted distances and are not intended to provide access to specific locations. Arterials are</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>further subdivided into Principal Arterials and Minor Arterials. However, for the purposes of this report they</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>have been grouped together. Please note that Interstates are considered Arterials, but they have been</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>given their own category in this report.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN>Collectors: These roadways provide some level of both mobility and access. They collect traffic from Local</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>roads and funnel it to Arterials. In rural areas, collectors are further subdivided into Major Collectors and</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Minor Collectors, but for the purposes of this report they have been grouped together.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN>Locals: These roadways provide access to abutting land with little or no emphasis on mobility. The term</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Local road should not be confused with local jurisdiction. Most, but not all, functionally classified Local</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>roads are under city/town jurisdiction.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Description: This polygon datalayer contains the six Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Highway Districts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The districts supervise all construction within its jurisdiction; performs on-site engineering; implements maintenance and preventative maintenance programs; generates proposals for maintenance and construction work; and provides engineering support to cities and towns. The bounds of the MassDOT Highway Districts were digitized from the MassGIS survey-level town boundaries. In addition to the polygon layer, there is an arc layer following the same linework as the polygon included in the downloadable shapefile.
