Attributes Tab

This tab allows you to locate the ramp's From and To positions along the roadway using linear reference points and X/Y coordinates. You can also identify any applicable type, district, sub-district, yard, and supervisor. Several of the fields in this tab have special functions. These are described below:

Field Name

Function

Original Station

(From and To; Beginning and Ending)

These fields are provided to identify the original beginning and ending stationing points and are generally recorded in feet. They do not necessarily reflect the location of the Reference Posts. These are numeric fields designed for linear referencing.

Reference Post

(From and To; Beginning and Ending)

Reference Posts are generally recorded in miles and are also known as Mile Markers. These posts typically do not move when a portion of the road is contracted or expanded.

Current Station

(From and To; Beginning and Ending)

These read-only fields are used by the system to reflect changes from the original stationing points. Changes are recorded in the associated Roads record when a road is contracted or expanded. If changes have been made and are not yet reflected in these fields, you may need to run the "Update Stationing" Toolkit function in the Roads module. Follow the link for additional information.
