Idaho Functional Classification

Hey everyone,

It appears that there is little in the way of functional classification changes being made in Idaho at the present. After a discussion with AlanOfTheBerg and a couple of other CMs, we talked about a literal one-to-one conversion of the FC roads. As such, I propose that all roads in Idaho are mapped as outlined in the FC. If there are any highways or roads that should be mapped otherwise, please discuss it here first and give a rationale for why it should not follow Idaho’s FC. Overall, this will allow for consistency not only within Idaho, but with most of the national (and in particular, regional states.)

For reference, the interaction FC map can be found at http://itd.idaho.gov/highways/planningServices/transportationPlanning/systemClass.html.

If anyone has any objections to using the FC classification as such, please let us know as well.

Thanks, everyone!

I cannot seem to locate the interactive FC map at the above link. I see a text reference to it but am not seeing the map. The page was updated after the above post came out so they may have removed the link (or just changed it enough that I’m missing it).

I am trying to confirm a road’s classification (N Beck Rd in Post Falls between Seltice Wy and Pointe Pkwy). The PDF map I was able to locate makes it appears this is a Minor Arterial (i.e. Minor Hwy) but the PDF doesn’t have the greatest detail.
