2017 TIGER/Line® Shapefiles: Roads

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation.

Linear Water Features includes single-line drainage water features and artificial path features that run through double-line drainage features such as rivers and streams, and serve as a linear representation of these features. The artificial path features may correspond to those in the USGS National Hydrographic Dataset (NHD). However, in many cases the features do not match NHD equivalent feature and will not carry the NHD metadata codes. These features have a MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Code (MTFCC) beginning with an "H" to indicate the super class of Hydrographic Features.

In general, the mile markers are measured from west to east and south to north. Such as I-10 starting in Escambia County, bordering Alabama, with mile marker 1 then increases eastward. And for I-95 from Miami-Dade County starting with mile marker 1 then increases northward. The data is refreshed weekly and changes are made by the District Offices who are responsible to collect and upkeep the data. This data may also be collected for call boxes that are located at integral milepoints instead of the usual mile marker signs. This data is required for all interstate, tolled or non-tolled expressway facilities, and US routes. This dataset is maintained by the Transportation Data & Analytics office (TDA).
