  Description:
    Abstract:
      This line coverage contains arc features representing all photogrammetrically interpreted street centerlines in the county, including roads built during or after 1993. RPT will resolve and generate road names.
    Purpose:
      Data created for Lancaster County planning. Intended for illustration and demonstration purposes only.

          Item Descriptions and Codes
          RDCODE  County street code which uniquely identifies a street name. This is the relate item to the ROAD_CODE.LUT which stores the street name (25 character) and vanity name (25 character)
          RDTYPE  Code indicating the classification of the street.
          A = Private drive
          B = Borough and City Roads.
          C = County Roads.
          D = Dirt Roads.
          S = State Roads.
          T = Township Roads.
          O = Other.
          R = Ramp
          Z = Internal non-road polygon
          RTENUM  Official route number for state and county roads.
          SOURCE  See BLDGS coverage.
          Notes:
          1.	Valid entries for directional elements and throughfare types are based on the CAD file documentation. In addition, the municipal code is the 2 character code used in the CAD file.
          2.	Road type indicates the calssification of the street, per ADR database design.
          We need to discuss source of and/or methodology for assigning this date.

          F - AVS date (Field Survey)
          M - Municipal/County supplied
          N - New addressing
          State route and township route numbers are based on the Penn DOT Series 10 maps.4.  Network Considerations:
          a. The From and To impedence values will allow model movement in either direction along arcs. The impedence values will repre-sent the amount of resistance required to traverse the arc. This resistance will be measured in minutes. Negative Impe-dence values will block travel in one or both directions.
          By default, roads will be assumed to be bi-directional with speeds assigned based on road type. The Arc length and speed will be used to derive the time required to traverse the arc.
          Based on AVS data and county input, individual arcs will beadjusted to reflect variations in speed and any directional restrictions.b. The following is a record layout for the standard ARC/INFO turntable.Field  Field Name  Type    Width  Dec
