In Network Screening - Segments, all routes in Ohio are subdivided into segments to make network screening easier. This allows you to compare smaller portions of a roadway with similar characteristics in Network Screening rather than evaluating an entire route.
Segment Criteria
When segmenting a route, a new segment is created each time one or more of the following roadway characteristics changes:
Volume on the route (AADT, or Annual Average Daily Traffic)
When a route changes between Urban, Suburban, and Rural
If the route changes between Freeway to Non-Freeway
When the number of lanes changes on the route
When a route changes between One-Way and Two-Way
When a route changes between Divided and Undivided
