Vermont currently observes the following Standardized Name nomenclature for Numbered Routes:
Road Type
Standardized Name
Freeway
I-###
US Highway
US-###
State Highway
VT-###
Town Highway
TH-###
State Highway numbering includes alternate state roads (e.g. VT-67A).
State Highway Signage
Most state highways are maintained by VTrans. However, some state highways in the centers of municipalities are maintained by local governments (class 1 town highways). VTrans maps indicate where state and local maintenance begin and end and signage may differ on municipally maintained segments. Map editors should treat both types the same.

Road Elevations
These are the general guidelines for elevation in Vermont.
All segments by default should have an elevation of ground including railroad segments
Only segments that cannot see the sky should have negative elevation (i.e., tunnels)
Only set elevation as high as necessary
Elevation of overlapping segments should be set relative to each other, with the lowest segment as ground (unless a tunnel)
If you use the Bridge tool to join segments, be aware that it raises the elevation of the joined segment: lower the joined segment as appropriate
Functional Classification updates in Vermont have been completed. This will ensure a consistent, and better navigational experience to Wazers around the state and country. The general guidelines for implementation are in the Road types page. Any local deviations, and special information for Vermont will be listed below.
Resources
Vermont's Agency of transportation (VTRANS) has made a master Functional Classification map available online.
The Vermont Classification and Color scheme comes from the official Functional Classification (FC) map that is published by VTRANS. The legend shows what classifications VTRANS uses and what color is assigned to each class.
VTrans to Waze Conversion Table
The numbers correspond to the FC type indicated on some VT maps. (e.g. Functional Class 7 road is a Major Collector)
