Highways feature class (Highways)

Package availability: Essential, Advanced, Premier

The Highways feature class is a subset of the Streets feature class where FUNCTIONAL_CLASS equals 1 or 2.

For a description of the attributes Shape_Length,OBJECTID, and Shape, see Esri® system fields.

Field name Data type Description
STREET_NAME String (100) The Street Name is a cartographic label for each street segment, the full street name of the segment including the abbreviated street type, prefix and suffix, for example "Fred St S". Where multiple names exist for a street segment, the data includes the one most likely to be useful for cartographic display as identified where possible
LANGUAGE_CODE String (3) Standard code for the language associated with the feature name
STREET_NAME_LATIN String (100) STREET_NAME is a cartographic label for each street segment, using Latin character set, the full street name of the segment including the abbreviated street type, prefix, and suffix, for example "Fred St S". Where multiple names exist for a street segment, the data includes the one most likely to be useful for cartographic display of highways as identified where possible
LANGUAGE_CODE_LATIN String (3) Standard code for the language associated with the feature name, using Latin character set
FUNCTIONAL_CLASS Integer (4) The functional class of street segments defines the segment's role within the hierarchical street network and determines logical and efficient routes in routing applications. Available values are:
- FUNCTIONAL_CLASS = 1: High volume, maximum speed traffic movement between and through major metropolitan areas.
- FUNCTIONAL_CLASS = 2: Channels traffic to class 1 roads with high volume and high speed movement.
- FUNCTIONAL_CLASS = 3: Interconnects class 2 roads and supports high volume movement at lower mobility.
- FUNCTIONAL_CLASS = 4: Supports high volume movement at moderate speeds between neighbourhoods.
- FUNCTIONAL_CLASS = 5: Lowest volume and movement class, including walkways and special-purpose roads
ISO_COUNTRY_CODE String (3) ISO 3 character country code
