===VDOT Functional Classification===
Virginia updates the road classifications every 10 years and the next update will be published in 2025.  The functional classifications are available via an interactive map that can be found [http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=3eca6c9adb6649c988d98734f85baddb here]. Alternatively, maps have been made to match WME in both [http://arcg.is/1FxkS9x old] and [http://arcg.is/1ez6BwY current] road colors. The updates have been conditionally approved and should be used for setting road type in WME. 
Rural farm and logging roads that are never open to the public should be marked as Private Road type to prevent routing.  Most should be left off the map unless they serve multiple residences or residences out of sight of the main road.  The Dirt Road/4x4 Trail designation should be reserved for public (state/locality maintained) dirt roads and Forest Service roads, etc, that a user may actually traverse freely during at least part of the year.
