pr95 |
I |
8 |
1995 Primary/Physical Route/Road |
PR values from the 1995 MALI table were added to SEMCOG MIRIS where possible. New PRs values were then added to road arcs without a PR value. All road arcs with a PR value are named. These PR values should be used with pre-1995 and 1995 MALI-referenced data. |
frmp95 |
N |
8.3 |
1995 From milepost |
Milepost values from the 1995 MALI table were added to SEMCOG MIRIS where possible. In addition, mileposting may have been reformulated based on correct arc structure or interpolated based on arc length. These PR values should be used with pre-1995 and 1995 MALI-referenced data. |
tomp95 |
N |
8.3 |
1995 To milepost |
|
pr |
I |
8 |
Primary/Physical Route/Road ID number |
MDOT’s standards for the Linear Referencing System requires that PRs are continuous without gaps or overlaps in mileposting. These PR values are the same as pr95 except where PRs needed to be reassigned in order to follow MDOT’s standards. |
frmp |

From milepost |
MDOT’s standards for the Linear Referencing System requires that PRs are continuous without gaps or overlaps in mileposting. These milepost values are the same as frmp95 and tomp95 except where PRs needed to be reassigned in order to follow MDOT’s standards. |

travel_dir |
I |
3 |
Travel direction code: 0 - not coded 1 - one-way road arc 2 - two-way road arc |
All arcs in the transportation network (network-id > 0) and all known boulevard arcs will have a travel direction code assigned. |
blvd_num |
I |
3 |
Boulevard code number |
Values greater than zero signify known boulevard arcs in addition to those already in the Transportation network. |
travel_mp |
I |
3 |
Travel/Mileposting direction code: 0 - not coded 1 - mileposting direction opposes travel direction on a one-way road arc 2 - two-way road arc or mileposting direction is same as travel direction on a one-way road arc |
All arcs in the transportation network (network-id > 0) and all known boulevard arcs will have a travel/mileposting direction code assigned. Dynamic segmentation in ARC/INFO requires that arcs are oriented in mileposting direction. This file follows this criteria. The field travel_mp identifies arcs whose mileposting direction is known to be opposing travel direction on one-way roads (important for TranPlan modeling). |
