Text
Proper
Manner in which each road is signed for quick retrieval.
Interstate = Interstate
Highways US = U.S. Highways
State = State Highways
Local = All other local roadways
State = interstate highways, US highways, state highways, and any other road maintained by a state government entity
county = road officially accepted into a county road system and maintained as such by a county road department
municipal = road maintained by an incorporated municipality
private = any road or driveway not maintained by a public entity
levee road = road constructed atop a regulated levee under the jurisdiction of a local levee district
public = roads receiving some amount of county maintenance for public use, but not accepted as an official county road
However, the RD_SURFTYP field will at a minimum carry the “paved” or “unpaved” attribute to meet the all public roads linear referencing system requirement.
antilog = antilog direction, i.e. in the direction of decreasing log mile values
1  federal = maintained by specific federal agencies, e.g. U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Park Service, etc.
2  Each RD_DESIGN value is defined in the “Definition of Terms” section.
3  A county may choose to maintain surface type attributes more detailed than “paved” or “unpaved”.
4  log = log direction, i.e. in the direction of increasing log mile values
*Note: The line in this instance is a linear geospatial theme that represents a centerline. Address ranges are typically established for individual centerline segments so address matching may be performed. Whenever practical, street names and address ranges shall conform to the actual situs addresses assigned.
Typographic Conventions:
The “#” symbol, hyphens or other punctuations shall not be used in any part of centerline attribute files created with the intent to be incorporated into the ACF program.
Directional Prefixes & Suffixes:
Centerline files intended for incorporation into the ACF program shall use directional prefixes and suffixes established by the United States Postal Service. (Refer to Appendix A.) The directional prefixes and suffixes shall be uppercase.
Metadata Identifier:
Centerline files intended for incorporation into the ACF program shall have a metadata identifier that associates (links) the contributed file to its proper metadata. Each segment shall have a metadata code assigned at the state level.
Street Name:
When primary street names are numbers, the numeral shall be used rather than the actual spelling. For example, “1” would be used rather than “First”. Names that are made up of numbers shall also include additional characters such as “th”, “rd”, “st” or “nd”, e.g. “1st”, “2nd”, “3rd”, etc. These characters shall be included in the primary street name field.
Street names shall utilize capital and lower case letters. Common abbreviations are acceptable in the street name. These might include, but are not limited to Dr (Doctor) or Jr (Junior). This will insure the name fits the field length requirements.
In addition to the rules described above, naming conventions for the primary street names in the ACF should in all cases correspond to the actual situs addresses assigned by the local addressing authority. These should also be consistent with the naming conventions used in the situs address point data maintained by the local jurisdiction and with the local Master Street Address Guide (MSAG), if applicable.
Street Type:
Centerline files created with the intent to be incorporated into the ACF program shall use street abbreviations established by the United States Postal Service. The street type shall be composed of upper and lower case characters.
Unique Id:
Each line segment within the Arkansas Centerline File Program shall have a unique identifier. The unique identifier shall be assigned at the state level.
