Functional Level Road Classifications
To coordinate with other areas of the country, and to remove as much subjectivity as possible from road classification, aligning the road class with the published DOT specifications seems to make the most sense.
The AKDOT information can be found here. Here's the types I'm using:
AKDOT classification --> Waze Classification
Interstate --> Freeway
Principal Arterial --> Major Highway
Minor Arterial --> Minor Highway
Major Collector --> Primary Street
Minor Collector --> Primary Street
Local --> Street
Unmarked --> Street
Waze indicates that Freeways need to be access controlled so that is the one place that I haven't been following AKDOT exactly since there's only part of the Seward and Glenn that are actually access controlled. All other AKDOT specified Interstates I have been marking as Major Highways.
I'd like input and suggestions if anyone has any. Thank you!
