Named routes feature class (Named_Routes)

Tier availability: Essential, Advanced, Premier

The Named_Routes feature class contains named routes, such as national highways, state highways, and tourist drives included in the road network dataset. There are up to six classifications of routes available for a country, and the type of route varies between countries. Some road segments may be part of multiple named routes.

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

Field name Data type Description
ROUTE_NAME String (50) Populated with the route name where the segment is part of a HERE route
LANGUAGE_CODE String (3) Standard code for the language associated with the feature name
ROUTE_NAME_LATIN String (50) Populated with the route name where the segment is part of a HERE route, using Latin character set
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 dataset and determine logical and efficient routes in routing applications. Availble values are:
  • FUNCTIONAL_CLASS = 1 roads allow for high volume, maximum speed traffic movement between and through major metropolitan areas.FUNCTIONAL_CLASS 1 applies to roads with very few, if any, speed changes.
  • FUNCTIONAL_CLASS 2 roads channel traffic to roads with FUNCTIONAL_CLASS 1 for travel between and through cities in the shortest amount of time. FUNCTIONAL_CLASS 2 roads have very few, if any speed changes that allow for high volume, high speed traffic movement.
  • FUNCTIONAL_CLASS 3 roads interconnect FUNCTIONAL_CLASS 2 roads and provide a high volume of traffic movement at a lower level of mobility than FUNCTIONAL_CLASS 2 roads.
  • FUNCTIONAL_CLASS 4 roads provide for a high volume of traffic movement at moderate speeds between neighbourhoods. These roads connect with higher functional class roads to collect and distribute traffic between neighbourhoods.
  • FUNCTIONAL_CLASS 5 roads' volume and traffic movement are below the level of any other functional class. In addition, walkways, truck only roads, bus only roads, and emergency vehicle only roads receive FUNCTIONAL_CLASS 5 roads.
ROUTE_TYPE String (30) The route type description for example National Route. This varies between countries
ROUTE_LEVEL SmallInteger (2) Hierarchy level of the named route on the street segment
LEFT_REGION String (100) Name of the region on the left hand side of the street segment. Note the length of this field is variable depending on the country, and for some countries is empty
LEFT_REGION_LATIN String (100) Name of the region on the left hand side of the street segment. Note the length of this field is variable depending on the country, and for some countries, it can be empty, using Latin character set
RIGHT_REGION String (100) Name of the region on the right hand side of the street segment. Note the length of this field is variable depending on the country, and for some countries is empty
RIGHT_REGION_LATIN String (100) Name of the region on the right hand side of the street segment. Note the length of this field is variable depending on the country, and for some countries, it can be empty, using Latin character set
SHIELD_LABEL String (50) Label for shield symbols
ISO_COUNTRY_CODE String (3) ISO 3 character country code
