TxDOT Roadways

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) maintains a spatial dataset of roadway polylines for planning and asset inventory purposes, as well as for visualization and general mapping. This dataset covers the state of Texas and includes on-system routes (those that TxDOT maintains), such as interstate highways, U.S. highways, state highways, and farm and ranch roads, as well as off-system routes, such as county roads and local streets. This data contains measures. Measures are stored as M-values within each vertex along the line, in the same way that some datasets store z-values for the elevation, except that measures store the distance from the origin, or DFO, along the line. M-enabled networks serve as frameworks for locating roadway assets along the network using linear referencing. This data set must be downloaded as a file geodatabase in order to keep M-Values intact. If downloaded as a shapefile or added to a map from a connection to ArcGIS online, measures will not be applied to the line.
