| | | | | An Arc Layer for visual representation of a subset of road characteristics for the state road systems. Each arc/record is split where road characteristics change along a route. This is a digital file of the North Carolina Department of Transportation's road inventory database that represents a subset of road characteristic attributes of the NCDOT state road system. The state road system is comprised of Interstate, US, NC, Secondary Routes, and Ramps. This layer also includes all non-state maintained and projected roads that are required for reporting purposes. Uncompressed GDB file size: ~ 536 MB

| | | | 8/12/2024 | The NCDOT GIS Unit is pleased to announce release of the GIS Data layers on the GIS unit webpage specified below for Third Quarter 2024. Quarterly releases for this year are tentatively scheduled for the following months: February, May, August, and November of 2024.
1. The NCDOT Rail Division data for Crossings, Track and Facility locations have been updated.
2. The Road Characteristics, Road Arcs and Road Routes layers are updated and includes both System and Non-System routes. The HighwayExit point feature class is included in the Road Characteristics File Geodatabase.
3. The NCDOT Structure Locations for Bridge data has been updated. 4. **As of August 12, 2024 a revised Smoothed Urban Boundaries dataset has been published in place of the original Quarter 1 2024 product. This data serves as the corrected 2024 Smoothed Urban Boundaries data.**
Route Data Updated this Quarter:
This layer is a visual representation of public roads in North Carolina. System roads (state maintained) are current through June 2024 for changes by NCDOT Petitions and Municipal Agreements process.
All represented non-system roads are maintained by local governments and are reflective of the last uploaded datasets. Non-system roads specifically updated this quarter: Alamance, Ashe, Cherokee, Cumberland, Gaston, Henderson, Pitt, and Surry counties.
|
| | | | | The Structures layer contains all features previously found in the NCDOTBridgeLocations dataset, plus 3 types of signs currently maintained by the NCDOT Structures Management Unit.
|
| | | | | A Route Layer for visual representation of attributes stored by County/Route/Milepost linear reference. This is a digital file of the North Carolina Department of Transportation's Linear Referencing System that represents the routes and attributes of the NCDOT state road system. The state road system is comprised of Interstate, US, NC, Secondary Routes, and Ramps and all non-state maintained and projected roads required for reporting purposes. Uncompressed GDB file size: ~ 222 MB
|
| | | | 8/12/2024 | Railroad layers from the NCDOT Rail Division including track, crossings and facility data.
The track dataset includes current in-service rail track as well as NCDOT-owned rail track. The crossings dataset includes public rail crossings , both at grade and grade separated. The facility dataset includes Amtrak station, Amtrak bus stops, yards, intermodal facilities and transload locations. The track, crossing and facilities layers can be downloaded individully as shapfiles or as a single geodatabase.

Polygons depicting the various MPO and RPO boundaries, covering the entire state of North Carolina. Existing MPOs expanded their Metropolitan Planning Areas (MPAs) to include all territory in Census 2020 UZAs. All boundary adjustments are approved by the Governor(s) and submitted to the FHWA Division Office(s). The MPA boundaries include the entire UZA boundary identified in the 2020 decennial Census and the contiguous geographic area likely to become urbanized within 20 years. RPOs were created for transportation planning in rural North Carolina areas not within an MPO.
