<p><span style='font-weight:normal;'>WSDOT developed a Land Use Context Classification system to apply to all census blocks and highway segments in Washington State. The full dataset consists of the block layer and segment layer. This layer includes data on the segment classifications. For more information on land use context classification, see WSDOT Design Manual chapter 1102 and read our documentation. This dataset is used to aid in decision making for design, speed setting, grant determinations, and standard setting.</span></p><p><span style='font-weight:normal;'>To suggest edits to this dataset based on inaccuracies in classification, please submit a response to the </span><a target='_blank' href='https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=ioUQbx6TVEWJ96NpTo4PGmwZAtMwwDhHp9FKEHVwBi9UMVFTNE01NFdXQ0dBNUlRRzRCN1gwNTBMWC4u'>Microsoft Form</a><span style='font-weight:normal;'>.</span></p><p><span style='font-weight:normal;'>Each segment and census block is first classified based on quantitative data for the block’s geography.
