WisDOT adds Rustic Roads to interactive maps
GIS tools make data more accessible, easier to use
Just in time for the changing leaves, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) announced today that Rustic Roads are now available as geographical information system (GIS) maps.
“Information that is readily available in a clear, useful format serves the public well,” WisDOT Secretary Craig Thompson said. “I applaud the effort to make more of our data available as GIS map layers and encourage our stakeholders to take advantage of this resource. Whether this information helps you take an enjoyable drive along a Rustic Road as the leaves are changing, or it helps inform a business decision, it is here to serve you.”
Some of the GIS maps are:
- Adopt-A-Highway segments and opportunities
- Crash statistics
- Asphalt pricing
- Future construction projects
- Weight restrictions
- Traffic counts
Maps are interactive, allowing users to zoom in and out, add data layers, print, export and perform other actions to present information to fit an audience’s needs. WisDOT provides geospatial data (for use with GIS software and tools) free of charge through WisDOT GIS Open Data. This self-service website provides access to authoritative geographic information systems (GIS) data commonly requested by staff, agency partners and the public. Users can easily search and download GIS data in various formats to meet their needs.
