6. Expressway
It is a road that has official recognition & which is crossing at a different
level and is connected to the rest of the road network by means of major
slip roads.
•For classifying as an expressway a road should be >= 2 km.
•For < 2km the road would be classified as Dual Carriage way.
7. Dual Carriage
A Dual Carriage is the representation of a road, by means of
splitting two different Carriages due to physical barrier split in two
opposite direction.
9. Single Carriage
A Single Carriage is a road that has a single lane for the purpose of
transport in both direction without having any barrier in between.
10. Roundabout
Roundabout is a type of circular intersection, a junction in which road traffic flows
in one direction around a central island.
12. Major Slip Road
A major Slip Road is a road that generally connects roads crossing at different levels.
Major Slip Road Multi-level Crossing
Legend
13. Small Slip Road
A Small Slip Road is a road specially designed to ensure a connection between two roads.
This connection is used to leave one road and drive smoothly to the other road particularly
to avoid a crossing at the same level. A small slip road is > 7.5 m and < 120 m.
Small Slip Road
14. Service Road
A Service Road is a local road running parallel to a higher connectivity road.

15. Special Traffic Figure
Special Traffic Figure and Closed Structure of Roads
A Special Traffic Figure refers to a closed circular, elongated or rectangular formation
of roads that is not recognized as a roundabout because:
• one or more roads run through the formation;
• of the direction of traffic flow
Special Traffic Figure Grade Separated Crossing Driving Direction

20. Major District Roads
Major District Road: which are officially in use & recognized as major connection
between different neighbouring Major District Head Quarters within state or region
21. Other Road Classes
City Main Road: Roads that connect the Main Roads of a town or City.
Local City Connector: Provides the connection between two local cities.
Locality Connector: Provides connections between localities to other localities.
Street: Main road that provides the connection to all local or dead end roads of
a locality.
Dead end Street: All Street and dead end roads.
23. Traffic Flow
Traffic Flow: is the database representation of the allowed direction of
traffic flow on a road.
Traffic Flow Value
Open in both directions 0
Traffic Flow in the same direction as that of arrow of digitization 1
Traffic flow in the opposite direction as that of arrow of digitization 2
Inaccessible (Closed in both directions for General Vehicles) 3
Arrow of Digitization: - Arrow of digitization is the direction in which the
geometry has been digitized.
24. Traffic Flow
1) Open in Both directions (Data Base Value=0):
2) Traffic Flow is along the arrow of digitization (Data Base Value=1):
3) Traffic flow in the opposite direction as that of arrow of digitization (Data
Base Value=2)
27. Section Road Level Crossing
A Road Level Crossing is the database representation of the relative
spatial position of two consecutive Transportation elements crossing
each other on different level.
Traffic Flow Type Database Value
Ground Level
On Ground Level 0
Road
Above Ground Level Bridges/ Flyover 1
Under Ground Level Tunnel/ Underpass -1
29. Route Number
Route Number generally consists of a prefix (generally alphabetic
characters written in upper cases), a number and, in some cases, a suffix.
• For National Highways - NH and for State Highways - SH. For Example: NH-
6, NH- 48, SH-22 etc.
• Route Number shall be captured as indicated on signposts. Continuity
should is assured. Internal connectors shall have the same Route Numbers
as its corresponding Freeway/Dual Carriageway.
31. Street Name
A Street Name is an identifying name given to a street or Road which
usually forms a part of the address.
32. Street Name
• Standard Name (SN) - is the most common name of a real-world object.
• Alternate Name (AN) - is an alternative for the most common name for a
real-world object.
39. Other Features
Signpost - Branch Signs identify a specific distination at the end of the ramp and Towards Signs is specific
destination beyond the ramp end.
Ramp - Exit from the main road OR Entrance to the main road from the road of difference level.
Time Related Information (TRI) - Roads are open or Closed for a specific time period.
Blocked Passage - Road closed for all vehicle or a particular vehicle type.
Maximum Dimensions - Maximum Dimension is the largest acceptable limit on road that is generally below the
bridge or over the bridge etc. Like 2.5 m (for Height), 450 T (for Weight) etc.
Rest Areas - A rest area or service area is a public facility, located next to a large thoroughfare such as a
highway, expressway, or freeway at which drivers and passengers can rest, eat, or refuel without exiting on to
secondary roads.
Lane Information - Information on numbers and types of lanes present on any road.
40. Other Features
Maneuver - Maneuver gives the information about the next raod attached to the present road, Like
Restricted, Prohibited, Priority, Implicit etc.
Toll Way - A Toll way is road for which a fee is collected in order to use the road. These are typically
controlled access roads where the fee varies over distance travelled.
Parking - It’s a road element which is the part of parking lot.
Intersection - Intersection is the crossing between 2 or more than 2 roads on the same level.
Freeway Intersection - Intersection is the crossing between 2 or more than 2 roads on the different
level.
Traffic Lights - Traffic Lights gives the instruction for the traffic movement.
Parallel Road - A Parallel Road refers to a parallel road that gives access to one or more level crossing via
major slip roads
Pedestrian Path - A Pedestrian Zone refers to paths, passages, promenades; that are too narrow or
otherwise physically restricted for cars. Walkways can be named or unnamed, paved or unpaved.
