All GDOT route ID’s in Numetric are unique 11 character strings which summarize all relevant data within the route, including the county code, route type/ownership, route number, route suffix, and direction.

The breakdown of the route ID is outlined below using the sample Route ID: 12310036NOI

County Code

The first three characters of every route ID make up the county code.

All GDOT counties are assigned a three-digit county code, starting with 001 and ending with 321, with only the odd numbers being used (E.g. 001, 003, 005, 007, etc.).
