Florida Functional Classification Maps

banished · March 21, 2014, 12:51am

The Florida highway functional classification maps are here:
http://www3.dot.state.fl.us/EnterpriseInternetAssets/IMAP/

Per the FL DOT, they are primarily available (Eastern time), as follows:

• 6:00am to 9:00pm Monday - Friday
• 7:00am to 7:00pm Saturday
• Not available on Sundays

It seems to work better with Internet Explorer. Chrome is the only other browser I have tried.

Please note functional classification is not yet approved for use, but I’m just trying to get ahead of the curve by letting all know where it is. It is not easy to find.

EDIT 26May14. The FC system as described here is approved for use in the Southeast states.

Why does a web page have hours of operation?

They were worried the computer might run out of gas when no one was around.

The maps are likely not meant for public consumption, but for transportation professionals; hence, perhaps they don’t think there is a need to keep it online 24x7?

Thanks, added you to the spreadsheet.

Anyone working on FC, Please do not use the Enterprise IMap on FDOT’s site. It is outdated. Please download the Functional Classification file and open it with ArcGis or QGIS. I’d be more than happy to guide anyone with any questions involving those maps.

PLEASE USE THIS

Would you remove this from the SE wiki? Or did you already?

t0cableguy · May 24, 2015, 10:47pm

I have already. Also the FDOT website no longer has hours of operation. It is available 24/7 unless it is undergoing maintenance.

To make a note here, FDOT updates their road functional class maps every Saturday morning.

t0cableguy · October 21, 2015, 1:03am

You wish. They update it when they feel like it. Could be daily or could be once a week or less.

txemt · October 21, 2015, 4:30am

They work at a government’s pace.

Grid64 · October 21, 2015, 12:40pm

Yeah I realized that the day after making that post -_-

Anyways, I can always provide a kmz file of the classification map as my work has ArcGIS and the program allows for conversion to KML / KMZ. I don’t know why FDOT doesn’t provide it in this format as it’s a layer file with spreadsheets. However, I would have to state what the color lines mean and you have to turn off Roads in Google Earth to prevent getting confused.

Here’s an example of the map:

I just overlay it on the WME map. Not sure why I would want to switch between two screens if I don’t have to.

Grid64 · October 21, 2015, 5:28pm

I have dual monitors haha but yeah I figured the conversion to KML. ArcGIS doesn’t make it easy as it pushes KMZ without saving the data of the segments if you try to convert to KML.
