A spatial dataset containing arterial and major street routes from the New York City Digital City Map (DCM). This layer represents the primary road network designated as arterials and major streets for traffic planning and management.
nyc_dcm_arterial_sfnyc_dcm_arterial_sf
An sf object with 740 features and 7 fields:
Character. The borough name (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, or Staten Island)
Integer. Numeric borough code (1=Manhattan, 2=Bronx, 3=Brooklyn, 4=Queens, 5=Staten Island)
Character. The name of the arterial or major street route
Character. Classification of the route type (e.g., "Major Streets")
Character. Sub-classification of the route (e.g., "Major Street", "Major street to be improved")
Character. Current status of the route (e.g., "Existing")
sfc_MULTILINESTRING. Spatial geometry representing the arterial or major street
The coordinate reference system is NAD83 / New York Long Island (ftUS), EPSG:2263. This projection uses US survey feet as units.
Arterials and major streets form the backbone of NYC's street network and are important for traffic planning, emergency services routing, and understanding the city's primary transportation corridors.
