ROUTEroutetextA Unique (3 Number - 1 Letter) Highway Identification Code or Designating for a State Highway, Business Route, U.S. Route or Tolled Facility. Odd numbers typically run North and South and Even numbers typically Run East and West.
REFPTrefptnumberA Linear Reference Number or Address Key (to the Thousandth of a Mile) Representing the Starting Point of a roadway segment. A Unique Landmark Location (not the running measure) or (maybe a one-time true measure) of a roadway segment along a State Route.
ENDREFPTendrefptnumberA Linear Reference Number or Address Key (to the Thousandth of a Mile) Representing the Ending Point of a roadway Segment. A Unique Landmark Location (not the running measure) or (maybe a one-time true end measure) of a segment along a State Route.
LENGTH_length_numberThe Centerline Segment Length or Segment Distance (in Miles) to the Thousandth of a Mile. Length_ is the distance from one Road Segment to the next Road Segment. Length_ is a dimension or measurement that is carried out 3-decimal places.
UPDATEYRupdateyrtextThe last calendar year in which the data was updated.
