- Abstract
- United States Interstate Highways is a polyline theme representing rural and urban interstate highways. Attribute information includes the length, route number and class of the interstate. This dataset is a part of the 2008 ESRI Data Maps collection.
- Purpose
- United States Interstate Highways provides a comprehensive database of interstate highways from the nation's principal arterial highway system and the National Highway System. The data is generalized to improve draw performance and be used effectively at a national level.
- Supplemental Information

- 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.
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- The original positional accuracy had a maximal positional error of 80 meters, and then it was generalized to a tolerance of 0.003 decimal degrees. The positional accuracy is unknown.

- ROUTE_NUM
- A composite field for the road feature comprised of the primary sign route that identifies the class, sign route number that can include a directional indicator, and a qualifier. The first character identifies the class, the following characters up to but not including a blank identify the sign route number that can include a directional indicator, a blank, and the last character identifies the qualifier.
