Tracking access to public highways is a vital ITD responsibility, ensuring the safety of accesses based on various factors, such as sight distance and traffic volume. In the past these were primarily recorded in two places: in a paper permits log table, and drafted onto as-constructed plansheets. Entering features into a GIS system was a natural way to integrate the information log and geographic component with each other.<\/SPAN><\/P>

In this context, accesses are typically driveways or side roads connecting to ITD-managed highways, and therefore accessing state right of way. Each access (other than pre-existing) has a permit associated with it in the format \u201cXX-XX-XX.\u201d The first digit(s) represent the ITD district number. In the early 1980s Idaho\u2019s transportation districts were re-numbered, and current ITD District 5 used to be District 1. Therefore, permits from the district before that time are labelled beginning in \u201c1.\u201d<\/SPAN><\/P>

The second set of digits generally represents the year, for example, \u201c05\u201d denotes a permit issued in 2005. The last digits show the number of the permit issued that year, so \u201c23\u201d is the 23rd permit issued for that year.<\/SPAN><\/P>

ITD District 5 has scanned copies of original permits dating back to the 1950s, and most accesses from before that time were simply \u201cgrandfathered\u201d into new highway corridors. Although permits were issued for temporary access to ITD\u2019s right of way, such as for parade routes, those are not currently included in this dataset.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "This feature class contains representations of access points to Idaho Transportation Department\u2019s roadways, digitized from a combination of georeferenced...", "title": "D5SDE.SDE.PermitAccess_D5", "tags": [], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 150000000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "Digitized from georeferenced plansheets and imagery by GIS Analyst, Nikolaus W.
