Military Bases and Government Installations
Naming
All roads within the confines of the gate for a military base should have the official name of the base as the city name. Examples: NS Mayport, NAS Jacksonville, or NSB Kings Bay.
Approved abbreviations are:
Roads
Gates
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.
Functional classification
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.
City Name Change
City names should change at the gate.
