Abstract:
U.S. Major Highways represents the major highways of the United States. These include interstates, U.S. highways, state highways, and major roads. This dataset is a subset of the Streets dataset. It contains all Class 1 and 2 roads segments plus any other road segments necessary to provide network connectivity for the Class_Rte field.
Purpose:
U.S. Major Highways provides a subset of highways and major roads from the Streets dataset for national, state, and regional display.
Supplemental_Information: Largest scale when displaying the data: 1:100,000.

Native_Data_Set_Environment:
Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 1; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.1.0.722
Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format using either ESRI SDC Data Development Kit Professional 2 (DDKP2) or tools in ArcGIS. The SDC data set is then loaded into ArcSDE® to verify and validate the geometry.
Completeness_Report:
After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The geospatial part of this data set was extracted from the Census 2000 TIGER/Line® files. The positional accuracy varies with the source materials used, but generally the information is no better than the established national map Accuracy standards for 1:100,000-scale maps from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). To improve the accuracy, Tele Atlas ran a process against the entire nationwide database.
The level of positional accuracy in the StreetMap™ files is not suitable for high-precision measurement applications such as engineering problems, property transfers, or other uses that might require highly accurate measurements of the earth's surface.

Process_Description:
The following steps were performed by ESRI: From StreetMap Detailed Streets, extracted all Class 1 and 2 road segments plus any other road segments necessary to provide network connectivity for the CLASS_RTE attribute. Converted the data set to SDC. Created the projection file (.prj) and spatial indices.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The following steps were performed by ESRI: For all features where attributes HWY_TYPE is equal to "" and PRETYPE is not equal to "", manually corrected the HWY_TYPE and HWY_SYMBOL values for county, state, U.S., and interstate highways. For example, if attributes PRETYPE equals "I" and NAME equals "91", made HWY_TYPE equal to "I" and HWY_SYMBOL equal to "91". Converted the data set to SDC. Created ArcGIS® layer file (.lyr), projection file (.prj), and spatial indices.
