Item Information

snippet:	The dataset uses projected stillwater elevations and road characteristics to forecast hazard exposure during a no-flood scenario. The Hazard Vulnerability Index (HVI) is an attempt to aid in identifying potential vulnerabilities within the State's roadway infrastructure. RE SHA CENTERLINES: Functional classification is the process by which public streets and highways are grouped into classes according to the character of service they are intended to provide. Generally, highways fall into one of four broad categories, principal arterials, minor arterials, collector roads, and local roads. Arterials provide the highest level of service at the greatest speed for the longest uninterrupted distance, with some degree of access control. Collector roads provide a less highly developed level of service at a lower speed for shorter distances by collecting traffic from local roads and connecting them with arterials. Local roads consists of all roads not defined as arterials or collectors; primarily provides access to land with little or no through movement.
