This dataset contains the Roads and Highways Road Network Linear Referencing System (LRS) HPMS median event polyline feature class which provides information on the presence and type of medians for Idaho’s public roadway segments as reported through the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS). The data supports roadway design, access control, and safety analysis by identifying the physical features that separate opposing traffic flows. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Idaho Transportation Department's (ITD) Roads and Highways Road Network Linear Referencing System (LRS) HPMS median event polyline feature class identifies the type of median separating opposing lanes of traffic along divided highways. Medians improve safety and operations by reducing head-on collisions, minimizing interference from opposing traffic, and providing space for recovery, emergency stops, and potential future lanes. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This information is collected from roadway design plans, construction as-built documents, and ITD’s roadway inventory systems in accordance with FHWA HPMS Field Manual coding guidance. Each median is classified by physical type and barrier characteristics. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Medians may include unprotected areas, curbed separators, or positive barriers that prevent vehicle crossover. Optional sub-codes describe the rigidity of barrier types (flexible, semi-rigid, or rigid) when that level of detail is available. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The dataset supports roadway safety evaluation, network inventory, and performance reporting. It is maintained and updated annually as part of ITD’s Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) submission to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). </SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;">These are current "working" records.
