This map provides information on speed limits that are posted on state-maintained roadways in Virginia. Cities and towns set their own speed limits and these are not available to show on the map. Zoom in on the map to display the speed limits. Speed limits exist for all roads however; where this information is not available for mapping, they are not displayed. Most roads where speed limits are not shown are either rural, secondary roads (routes numbered 600 or greater) where a statutory 55 mph speed limit typically applies, or subdivision streets where a statutory 25 mph speed limit usually applies. These statutory speed limits are often are not posted on these roads. Click on any roadway to display the speed limit information.
VDOT Structure Exclusions - Updated quarterly in a single layerDisplays specified bridges, culverts, and tunnels in the state whose use by vehicles exceeding DMV’s maximum legal limitations is restricted. These restrictions include but are not limited to vehicle height for overpasses/tunnel/signage, weight for structure carrying capacity, overhang for ingress or egress, length, and width. Structure Exclusions lists for each exclusion type is available using this site.Trucking companies are the primary end user of the Structure Exclusions lists and web map through the DMV. The hauling permit, once obtained, will reference a code (N1R, N5R, N45T, etc) which corresponds to the list of state structures that the vehicle is not permitted to cross based on the dimensions of the vehicle. These excluded structures by code are also provided in VDOT’s Structure Exclusions map.Hauling permits for vehicles that exceed any parameters of the maximum legal vehicle limitations are obtained through the DMV.Location of VDOT Structure Exclusion Lists hosted by DMV: HERE

VDOT's Six Year Improvement Plan approved projects. Contains both linear projects data as well as a point layer representing the summary of both point and line projects. In the summary layer, linear projects are converted to points based on the centroid of the line and are combined with the normal point projects into a single dataset. Spatial data is intended to highlight mappable projects in the SYIP but may not include all records due to unique business circumstances.
The feature service displays VDOT's Responsibility/Ownership events layer segmented onto the Master Route LRS layer. It is meant to delineate the entity responsible for the maintenance and ownership of roadway segments throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Data currency is as of February 2025, when VDOT's 25.1 LRS Release was processed.
This data set is a linear representation of the extents and attribution associated with speed limit as derived from speed zone records as originally created by the Traffic Engineering Division (TED) of VDOT. This data layer was created for Speed Zone application of Roadway Network System by extracting the zone location information for each feature from the speed zone database and then applying this location description to the linear referencing system built for the Virginia roadway network, and then associating the zone business data to the spatially located feature. Over time new speed zones are created that may overlap - supersede an existing zone. This layer uses business rules to calculate the speed limit. A conventional zone and a variable limit may exist at a single selected location. This data set is maintained by RNS application. There are two types of SPZ records first are for "Statutory" zones where signs are erected to mark roads on which the statutory speed limits apply. The second type of zone is "Resolution" in which the VDOT Commissioner approves changes in speed limits based on recommendations from TED following traffic studies at the proposed location. In these cases the speed limit may be set to any recommended value, in 5 mph increments, and with differing speed limits for trucks versus other vehicles, different speed limits based on time of day, etc.
The Evacuation Route Study Map contains the primary evacuation routes throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. These routes were identified by the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Virginia Department of Emergency Mangement. This map was developed to meet the requirements set forth in the 2022 Code of Virginia; Title 33.2 - Highways and Other Surface Transportation Systems; Chapter 2 - Transportation Entities § 33.2-275.1.

The purpose of this data set is to provide a geographic representation of the location of each state mile marker sign in the Commonwealth, and is to be used in a number of other products and projects. The locations of state mile marker signs on interstates and primary routes are important sources for various traffic studies as well as information for travelers. This GIS layer displays the locations and corresponding information of state mile marker signs. The signs may have been placed close but not exactly at the mile point due to geographic restrictions.Attribute NameContentsFIDInternal Feature NumberShapeFeature GeometryHTRISDEFHTRIS Definition in the Roadway InventoryROADSIDELocations of Mile Marker Posts (Right, Left, or Median)LATITUDEGPS latitude for each Mile Marker point in decimal degreesLONGITUDEGPS longitude for each Mile Marker point in decimal degreesSIGNSTYLE0: Small & Non-MUTCD Compliant, 1: MUTCD Standard (D10-1, D10-2 or D10-3), 2: MUTCD Enhanced (D10-4 or D10-5)SIGNVALUENumeric Value from the Sign Text except NULL, -1, and -2 valuesSIGNTEXTFull Sign TextM_JURISDICMaintenance Jurisdiction Code

This data archive is a collection of GIS files and FGDC metadata prepared in 1995 for the Northampton County Planning Office by the Virginia Coast Reserve LTER project at the University of Virginia with support from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Original data sources include: 1:100,000-scale USGS digital line graph (DLG) hydrography and transportation data; 1:6,000-scale boundary, road, and railroad data for the town of Cape Charles from VDOT; 1:190,000-scale county-wide general soil map data and 1:15,540-scale detailed soil data for the Cape Charles area digitized from printed USDA soil survey maps; a land use and vegetation cover dataset (30 m. resolution) created by the VCRLTER derived from a 1993 Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite image; 1:20,000-scale plant association maps for 10 seaside barrier and marsh islands between Hog and Smith Islands, inclusive, prepared by Cheryl McCaffrey for TNC in 1975 and published in the Virginia Journal of Science in 1990; and 1993 colonial bird nesting site data collected by The Center for Conservation Biology (with partners The Nature Conservancy, College of William and Mary, University of Virginia, USFWS, VA-DCR, and VA-DGIF). Contents: HYDROGRAPHY Based on USGS 1:100,000 Digital Line Graph (DLG) data. Files: h100k_arc_u84 (streams, shorelines, etc.) and h100k_poly_u84 (marshes, mudflats, etc.). Note that the hydrographic data has been superseded by the more recent and more detailed USGS National Hydrography Dataset, available for the entire state of Virginia at "ftp://nhdftp.usgs.gov/DataSets/Staged/States/FileGDB/HighResolution/NHDH_VA_931v210.zip" (see http://nhd.usgs.gov/data.html for more information). A static 2013 version of the NHD data that includes shapefiles extracted from the original ESRI geodatabase format data and covering just the watersheds of the Eastern Shore of VA can also be found in the VCRLTER Data Catalog (dataset VCR14223). TRANSPORTATION Based on USGS 1:100,000 Digital Line Graph (DLG) data for the full county, and 1:6,000 VDOT data for the Cape Charles township. Files: 1:100k Transportation (lines) from USGS DLG data: rtf100k_arc_u84 (roads), rrf100k_arc_u84 (railroads), and mtf100k_arc_u84 (airports and utility transmission lines). Files: 1:6000 street, boundary, and rail line data for the town of Cape Charles, 1984, prepared by Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation Information Services (Division 1221 East Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219). Streets correct through December 31,1983. Georeferencing corrected in 2014 for shapefiles only, using same methodology described for VCR14218 dataset. File : town_u84_adj (town_arc_u84old is the older unadjusted data). Note that the transportation data has been superseded by more recent and more detailed data contained in dataset VCR14222 of the VCRLTER Data Catalog. The VCR14222 data contains 2013 U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line road and airfield data supplemented by railroad and transmission lines digitized from high resolution VGIN-VBMP 2013 aerial imagery and additionally has boat launch locations not available here. SOILS General soil map for Northampton county (1:190k), and detailed soil map for Cape Charles and Cheriton areas (1:15,540) from published the USDA Soil Conservation Service's 1989 "Soil Survey of Northampton County, Virginia" digitized at UVA by Ray Dukes Smith: soilorig_poly_u84 (uses original shorelines from source maps), soil_poly_u84 (substitutes shorelines from 1993 landcover classification data), and cc_soil_poly_u84 (Cape Charles & Cheriton detailed data, map sheets 13 and 14). Note that the soil data has been superseded by more recent and more detailed SSURGO soil data from the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), which has seamless soil data from the 1:15,540 map series in tabular and GIS formats for the full county, as well as for all counties in VA and other states. A static 2013 version of the SSURGO data that contains merged data for Accomack and Northampton Counties can be found in the VCRLTER Data Catalog (dataset VCR14220). LANDUSE/LANDCOVER VCR Landuse and Vegetation Cover, 1993, created by Guofan Shao (VCRLTER) based on 30m resolution Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite imagery taken on July 28, 1993. Cropped to include just Northampton County. Landcover is divided into 5 classifications: (1) Forest or shrub, (2) Bare Land or Sand, (3) Planted Cropland, Grassland, or Upland Marsh, (4) Open Water, and (5) Low Salt Marsh. File = nhtm93s3_poly_u84. No spatial adjustments necessary. An outline of the county showing the shorelines based on the above 1993 TM classification is included as the shapefile:outline_poly_u84; however, no spatial adjustment has been applied. Note that a similar landuse/landcover classification based on the same 1993 Landsat
