GIS Map Standards for Urban Street Routing and Location Tracking

Map Guidelines:

  • Streets: Indicate one-way and two-way streets clearly on the GIS map.
  • Highways: All U-turns and connections to other streets must be defined.
  • Highways and Three-Lane Urban Roads: Displayed in yellow on a separate layer; street widths should be drawn proportionally to their actual width.
  • Two-Lane Urban Roads: Displayed in green on the GIS map.
  • 6-Meter Alleys: Shown in white.
  • 3-Meter Alleys and Narrower: Shown in red.
  • Police Stations and Centers: Traffic police, anti-narcotics, criminal investigation, and other relevant offices should be displayed in a separate layer.
  • Government Buildings: Governor’s Office, Provincial Office, Agricultural, Labor and Social Affairs, city libraries, etc., should be displayed in a separate layer.
  • Fire Stations: Displayed in a separate layer.
  • Utility Companies: Water, electricity, gas, telecommunications, etc., should be displayed separately.
  • Judicial Institutions: Courts, forensic offices, prisons, etc., should be displayed in a dedicated layer.
  • Parks and Green Spaces: Displayed in green with names labeled on the map.
  • Mosques: Indicated with names either in the streets layer or a separate layer.
  • Large and Prominent Factories: Shown in a dedicated layer.
  • Bakeries: Marked on the map.

This standard ensures accurate routing, location tracking, and easy identification of urban infrastructure and services within the GIS system.
