Road Characteristics Layers

A summary of Road Characteristics data layers that can be analyzed within Insights.

1.0 Selectable Layers

The LRS Network data layers that can be selected and viewed on the map within Insights include:

  • Road Functional Class 
    Classifies each road segment based on its operational function. Functional classes defined whether the roadway is a Federal Highway, State Highway, Arterial, Collector, or Local Street
  • Speed Limit 
    Provides an estimate of what a reasonable speed limit would be on a road, within +/- 5mph. Estimated based on road functional class and observed average speeds (in mph).

⚠️NOTE: Only one layer can be selected at a time for analysis.

⚠️NOTE: For customers who have integrated their speed limit data using Location Management settings, the Speed Limit layer will be calculated off of those integrated speed limits.  For customers who have not integrated any speed limits, the layers will be calculated based on Urban SDK's Speed Category.
