A series of map layers in the Road Network Management map are used to track the characteristics of each public street, these characteristics include:

• Ownership
• Functional Classification
• Speed Limit
• Lane Width
• Number of Lanes
• Curb Type
• Pavement Type
• Special Routes (for example, Truck, Snow and Bike Lanes)

Where appropriate, the feature classification and type schema for each road characteristic has been adapted from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Specific attributes and default values vary for each feature type.

To add road characteristics, complete the following steps:

1. Turn on the following layers by clicking the check box next to the layer's name:
   • Functional Classification
   • Ownership
   • Speed Limit
   • Physical Characteristics
   • Number of Lanes
   • Curb Type
   • Pavement Type
   • Special Routes
2. Start an edit session.
3. In the Create Features window, click a road characteristic feature template.
4. Click the Line construction tool.
5. Click the Trace tool on the Editor toolbar.
6. Add the new road characteristic to the map. Draw the new characteristic by starting at an intersection, or a location along a road segment, and tracing along an existing feature in the Public Streets layer.
7. Save your edits.
