Street segments are defined as segments of an established street centerline file which span from intersection to intersection, not crossing an intersection or street change boundary. Usually this will be a segment starting where two or more streets intersect and ending at the next location where two or more streets intersect. Sometimes, however, a street can change where there is no visible intersection, usually where one street curves into another. In this case, the street segment ends where the street name changes and a new street segment begins. Yotta MVS's Street Centerline Verification and Correction service, using "Digivan" software, allows you to confirm existing street segments and draw new ones where corrections are needed.  

The benefits of an accurate Street Centerline file are numerous to a cross section of agencies within a jurisdiction. The files are typically maintained by a GIS Department and shared with, but not limited to, the following agencies: Public Safety, E-911, Highway/Roads, Planning/Zoning and the Tax Assessor.  Street Centerline attributes can also have unique identifiers/data which can be linked to Census TIGER files.
