Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Verified visually by comparison against source materials.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Topology exists

Completeness_Report:

Contains all officially recognized features within the Commonwealth.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Digitized from sources conforming to National Mapping Accuracy Standards for 1:24,000 scale maps.  Updates and maintenance completed from orthophotography where available.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:

Estimated accuracy is +/- 100 Feet.

Source_Contribution:

Features for digitization.

Source_Contribution:

position verification.

Process_Description:

Digitized into Bentley Microstation system from most recently available 7.5 minute USGS topographic quadrangles on a stable (mylar) base.  Updated information is added from orthophotography, construction plans and maps as this information becomes available.

Process_Description:

Continually verified and corrected through visual comparison with orthophotos from USGS and other sources and GPS ground-checking as possible.

State Route Number

Attribute_Definition_Source:

For Interstate highways (rt_no_prfx=I), this attribute can be decoded to indicate mile markers. Segment numbers ending in 1 or 0 are mileposts (for example, a seg_no of 0221 or 0220 indicates the 22nd mile). Segment numbers ending in 4 or 5 indicate a half-mile. Interstates are generally measured South to North or West to East. Even numbered segments indicate the measured direction of travel while odd numbered segments indicate the other side of the highway. Segments numbers ending with other digits are county line breaks.
