Introduction
While novaTopFlex cannot provide up-to-date nor guaranteed information about road conditions in any particular location at any given date or time, the overall road network is of significant importance for identifying the geospatial interests of the Three Identities as appropriate.
Geospatial Information
Using geospatial data, crowd-sourced road network information, official government records, and information about highway routes of all types, the community can identify clearly distinctive settlement patterns based on the associated road network situations as follows (all information pertaining to the United States of America):
- Interstate Highways represent the primary class of high-capacity travel routes and generally exist for the most significant of travel purposes in modern society.
- United States Numbered Highways, while typically surface-level roads, may also contain freeway-style components in all or part of the associated routes in an effort to service each of the communities as appropriate. Communities along the Numbered Highways are often smaller than communities along the distinctive Interstate Highways and may service communities at greater relative distances from the major cities.
- State Highways are usually the third most prominent class of routes in the mapping services. Though a few of the United States Highways may be classified relatively minimally, the state highways can have varying expectations of traffic volumes, with select routes often significantly busier while other routes may be extremely light in terms of traffic volumes.
- Many of the collector and local roads are classified yet separately from the primary highway classifications and may contain different service types in different communities. In general, the public routes associated with the areas are associated with destinations, rather than connectors, and the situation is even more obvious in rural communities.
