Description: In the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS), Facility Type serves as a core inventory attribute that defines the physical and operational structure of a given roadway section. State departments of transportation use this classification to categorize routes into one of six distinct operational codes, including one-way roads, two-way roads, interchange ramps, non-mainline roadways, and planned/unbuilt facilities. This structural distinction is vital for federal reporting because the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) uses it alongside data like Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) and functional classification to build the foundational sample panel used for nationwide performance analysis. Furthermore, because only mainline one-way and two-way roads are officially factored into public mileage metrics, accurate Facility Type coding ensures that states do not over-report or under-report eligible highway mileage when determining federal funding apportionments.This dataset is:• Owned by LA DOTD HPMS/NEEDS• Maintained by LA DOTD HPMS/NEEDS
