Class Descriptions
AggWaySegment
Description: A line feature class representing: A set of road segments that share a
common function or characteristic. (Adapted from GDF) A road segment can belong to
more than one AggWaySegment. AggWaySegments do not have an implied topology,
that is they are not necessarily connected to other AggWaySegments, and do not
necessarily form a complete network. Although an AggWaySegment is normally
contiguous this is not mandatory. AggWaySegments have same geometries as
RoadSegment features. AggWaySegment provides a 'staging class' for the auto
generation and maintenance of the AggregatedWay feature class.

AggregatedWay
Description: A line feature class representing: A set of road segments that share a
common function or characteristic. (Adapted from GDF) A road segment can belong to
more than one AggregatedWay. Aggregated Ways do not have an implied topology, that
is they are not necessarily connected to other AggregatedWays, and do not necessarily
form a complete network. Although an AggregatedWay is normally contiguous this is not
mandatory. AggregatedWay features are aggregations of AggWaySegment features
that have all the same WayType;WayNumber;RoadNameBase;RoadNameType;
RoadnameSuffix values.
