USER NOTES:

Topological relationships of node and link and uniqueness of entity IDs are verified by the computer algorithm developed under ArcGIS 9.1 environment.

The complete urban principal arterial system and arterials in rural areas as reported to FHWA by December 1992 are inventoried in the database. Functional classification as reported in HPMS 2007, NHS system and intermodal connectors are reported to the FHWA by 2003. SIGN1, LNAME, route designation, route direction and route milepost as reported in HPMS 2002 are updated. Functional classes below arterial vary on a state-by-state basis. Any addition and modification to the National Highway System as reported to the FHWA by February 2010 is also included.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

The primary purpose of this geospatial data set is to serve the FHWA needs in highway planning, policy analysis, visualization of the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) database and network modeling. The NHPN is the digital source used for coding and publishing the FHWA approved National Highway System maps.

The original elements of the NHPN have been conflated to the 1:100,000 DLG-3 data set, which maintains a nominal accuracy of at least 80 meters. Where new roads have been added which are not in the DLG-3 database, link alignments have been digitized or converted from digital sources acquired from state DOTs with a map scale of at least 1:100,000. Where State data source was not available, CENSUS TIGER/Line 2000 was used.

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

The NHPN Version 09.03 database, or any portion thereof, can be freely distributed as long as this metadata entry is included with each distribution. The original metadata entry cannot be modified or deleted from any data transfer.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials. A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.
