The database does not include, analyze,
process, consider, or reflect any of the
following categories of information:
•Neighborhood quality or safety
• Population density
• Availability or proximity of law
enforcement
• Emergency, rescue, medical, or other
assistance
• Construction work, zones, or hazards
• Road and lane closures
• Legal restrictions (such as vehicular type,
weight, load, height, and speed
restrictions)
• Road slope or grade •
Bridge height, width, weight, or other
