Functional Classification

Montana follows the Functional Classification (FC) system for both state and non-state roads. This change from the previous road-typing guidance was changed in September 2014.

State-wide

• To properly type a Freeway, Major Highway, Minor Highway, or Primary Street, refer to the Montana Arcgis site and cross reference that against the Waze Functional Classification table.

• Montana Department of Transportation homepage
• Montana Department of Transportation Interactive Maps
• List of Montana Numbered Highways
• The Montana Road Log provides descriptions of Montana highways (useful to find start and end points when road signs are limited, or GIS resources aren't clear). From the MDT Brochures page
