A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding

was originally in  UTM zone 17, NAD 1983 and was projected to FGDL Albers. 

The layer was originally two layers for on-system and off-system roads (on0507.shp 
and off0507.shp). The two layers were merged and a SOURCE field was added. 
Records from the on-system shapefile received values of "ON" and records from 
the off-system roads received a value of "OFF". 

-upcased all records
-changed name from on0507.shp and off0507.shp to fdot_crash_2005_2007
-added DESCRIPT based on ONROADNAME
-calculated 7 records with no value for DESCRIPT to "NO DESCRIPT AVAILABLE"
-add FGDLAQDATE based on date GeoPlan received data from source
