Nebraska Primary and Secondary Road Network for 2023

2023 TIGER/Line shapefile extracts road geometry and attributes for the state of Nebraska. The dataset distinguishes between primary roads (MTFCC S1100) and secondary roads (MTFCC S1200) as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. It provides a seamless, topologically correct representation of these road features.

Use Cases

• Calculate road network density and connectivity metrics using the linear geometry of primary and secondary roads.
• Perform spatial joins to assign addresses to the nearest road segment based on the provided address range attributes.
• Analyze the distribution and classification of transportation infrastructure using the MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Code (MTFCC).
• Create a basemap layer for Nebraska by styling primary (S1100) and secondary (S1200) road features differently.

Strengths

• Data is topologically integrated with no overlaps or gaps, ensuring geometric consistency.
• Provides official U.S. Census Bureau classifications for primary (MTFCC S1100) and secondary (MTFCC S1200) roads.
• Covers the entire state of Nebraska as a standalone file that can also be combined with other states for national analysis.
• Updated in 2025, indicating recent maintenance of the 2023 data vintage.

Limitations

• The dataset is limited to primary and secondary roads, excluding local streets and other road types.
• Specific quantitative details like total row count, file size, or column schema are not provided in the input.
• As a 2023 snapshot, it may not reflect road construction, closures, or attribute changes after that year.
