Roadway asset types
This table describes special features of each of the roadway asset types.
| Asset type | Special features |
|---|---|
| Appurtenance | An appurtenance is a miscellaneous roadway asset that does not fall under any of the other asset types, such as a bus shelter, bench, or historical marker. Use the Associated Assets grid to associate other assets with the appurtenance, such as a sidewalk or landscape where it is located. |
| Bridge | Use the Components tab to define components of the bridge that can be inspected separately. |
| Culvert | A culvert is a pipe or box structure that passes under a roadway, controlling the flow of stormwater across the roadway. Some culverts have multiple inlets, or barrels. |
| Intersection | Use the grid to associate other assets with the intersection, such as a street light or sign located at the intersection. |
| Landscape | A landscape is any portion of land along a roadway, such as a planted median or bank. |
| Light | The Position field shows the light's position at the address. Use the grid to record data from the light's name plate, such as its model and manufacturer. Use the grid to record a performance reading for the light, such as its average lamp circuit wattage. Use the grid to record the light's usage. |
| Roadway | A roadway is identified by its
roadway type, a unit ID, and the total length. The features that you can
attach to a roadway, such as attributes and elements, depend on the
roadway type. See Roadway overview. |
| Segment | A segment is a section of street between two cross streets. Use the grid to associate other assets with the segment, such as a street sign or sidewalk located along the segment. Other fields indicate structural information about the street, such as its surface type, number of lanes, and percentage of commercial traffic. Use the Components tab to define components of the segment that can be inspected separately. |
| Sidewalk | Use the grid to associate other assets with the sidewalk, such as street lights and intersecting sidewalks. |
| Sign | The Light field identifies the light that is attached to the sign. |
| Signal | The Position field shows the signal's position at the address. Use the grid to associate other assets with the street signal, such as a sign warning vehicles of the signal or a landscape located near it. Use the grid to record data from the signal's name plate, such as its model and manufacturer. Use the grid to record a performance reading of the signal, such as noting the percentage of LEDs that are expired. Use the grid to record the signal's usage. |
| Support | A support is a structure that supports a traffic light, street sign, or similar asset. Use the grid to associate other assets with the support, such as a street light or sign that is mounted on the support. |
| Tree | The Landscape field indicates the landscape asset where the tree is located. |
