Florida Primary and Secondary Road Network from 2023 TIGER/Line Data

Florida's 2023 primary and secondary road network is provided by the U.S. Census Bureau as a standalone extract from its national MAF/TIGER Database. The dataset includes primary divided highways (MTFCC S1100) and secondary main arteries (MTFCC S1200) for the state. It is delivered as shapefiles and database files designed for geographic analysis.

Use Cases

• Analyze the spatial distribution and connectivity of primary roads (MTFCC S1100) and secondary roads (MTFCC S1200) across Florida for transportation planning.
• Integrate the road geometry with address range data to perform network routing or geocoding applications.
• Combine this Florida extract with other TIGER/Line state files to model the seamless national road network described in the MTDB.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative U.S. Census Bureau MAF/TIGER Database, ensuring national consistency.
• The shapefile format is designed to be a standalone extract for Florida, facilitating focused state-level analysis.
• Includes specific MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Codes (MTFCC S1100, S1200) for clear differentiation between primary and secondary road types.

Limitations

• The dataset's specific record count and file size are unknown, making it difficult to assess computational requirements.
• As a 2023 extract, the road network data may not reflect recent construction or changes to Florida's infrastructure.
