(DRAFT) National Functional Classification (NFC) Road Types
A state-wide effort to align road types to MDOT's National Functional Classification (NFC) maps began in late 2013. While there are exceptions that are listed below, the following table provides the NFC classifications with their corresponding Waze road types as adopted in Michigan.
| NFC Type | Waze Road Type | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Interstate | Freeway | |
| Other Freeway | Freeway | |
| Other Principal Arterial | Major Highway | |
| Minor Arterial | Minor Highway | |
| Major Collector | Primary Street* | |
| Minor Collector | Primary Street* | |
| Local | Street* | |
| *If applicable, "Dirt road / 4X4 Trail" takes precedence over "Primary Street" or "Street" for Collectors or Local roads. It is very common to find dirt collectors in rural and even some urban areas of Michigan. | ||
