Military Bases and Government Installations

Naming

All roads within the confines of the gate for the military base should have the official name of the base. Approved abbreviations are:

  • AFB-Air Force Base
  • NAS-Naval Air Station
  • CG-Coast Guard
  • JRB-Joint Reserve Base
  • JB-Joint Base
  • MCAS-Marine Corps Air Station
  • Roads

    While road treatment is covered here, gates should be set to private road going into the gate and  Street / Primary Street  going out of the gate. Bases do not get functional classification per state guidelines. They all fall outside of state DoTs and therefore do not need to be functionally classed. For most military bases (especially in the eastern part of the US) the highest classification should be  Primary Street . For those large bases in the western part of the US,  Minor Highway  is allowed.

    Gates

    Landmarks

    Places approved for military bases

    • Commissary
    • PX/BX
    • Gas stations
    • Parks
    • Museums
    • School
    • College / University
    • Lodging (base hotels)

    Places not approved for military base

    The reasoning behind these are a person who is hungry and searches for "Burger King" will get the closest one to them. The closest may be on a military base which they don't have access to.

    • Fast food places
    • Numbered buildings
    • Troop clubs (NCO, officer, etc)
    • Residences
    • Barracks
    • Hangars
