Abstract Contains public road centerlines for Maine at 1:24000 scale, created by Maine Department of Transportation using MEDOT's basemap line work. This dataset is designed for use in applications within MEDOT.
Purpose Provides basemap data on road centerlines at a 1:24,000 scale. Users must assume responsibility in determining the usability of this data for their purpose. Data at this scale is suitable for detailed studies and local planning. Not for use in scales finer than 1:24000.

Access Constraints Secondary distribution by permission only. Any secondary distribution must have this documentation appended.
Use Constraints Users must assume responsibility in determining the usability of this data for their purposes. Digital maps retain the accuracy of their source materials. The best use of data mapped at scales of 1:500,000 and 1:250,000 is in statewide planning and studies; at 1:100,000 in regional planning and studies; at 1:62,500 and 1:24,000 in detailed studies and local planning; and at 1:12,000 and 1:5,000 or larger scales in parcel level studies and detailed local planning. In the use of Maine GIS data, please check sources, scale, accuracy, current ness and other available information. Please confirm that you are using the most recent copy of both data and metadata from the Maine Department of Transportation (MEDOT).

Process Description Source centerline coverage created weekly, taking spatial infromation from centerline 'basemap' which is updated continuously. Segment identification codes are assigned to facilitate queries via SQL from related Oracle tables. SQL query to Oracle tables returns attributes of each road segment, then these attributes are added through a join process.

Attribute Definition Source MEDOT
Enumerated Domain Value 1
Enumerated Domain Value Definition Priority 1 Roads: These roads include the Maine Turnpike, the interstate system and key principal arterials like Route 1 in Aroostook County, the Airline (Route 9), Route 2 west of Newport, and Route 302. The 1,400 miles of Priority 1 roads represent only 7 percent of the miles, but carry fully 40 percent of all vehicle miles traveled in Maine.
Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source MEDOT
Enumerated Domain Value 2
Enumerated Domain Value Definition Priority 2 Roads: These roads total about 940 miles. They are non-interstate, high value arterials that represent about 4 percent of the total miles of road but carry 11 percent of overall traffic.
Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source MEDOT
Enumerated Domain Value 3
Enumerated Domain Value Definition Priority 3 Roads: These roads generally are the remaining arterials and most significant major collector highways. These 2,050 miles represent only 9 percent of miles, but carry 19 percent of the traffic.
Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source MEDOT
Enumerated Domain Value 4
Enumerated Domain Value Definition Priority 4 Roads: These roads generally are the remainder of the major collector highways, often also part of Maine's unique state aid system, in which road responsibilities are shared between the state and municipalities. These 1,900 miles represent about 8 percent of total miles, and carry 10 percent of the traffic.
Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source MEDOT
Enumerated Domain Value 5
Enumerated Domain Value Definition Priority 5: Roads These roads are 2,500 miles of minor collector highways, almost all on the state aid system. They represent 11 percent of miles, but carry only 7 percent of traffic.
Enumerated Domain Value Definition Source MEDOT
Enumerated Domain Value 6
Enumerated Domain Value Definition Priority 6: Roads These roads are local roads and streets, and are the year-round responsibility of our municipal partners. Though they carry just 13 percent of the statewide traffic, these 14,300 miles make up 61 percent of the total miles.
