What this tracks
This dataset records the locations and details of access control fences installed along Tennessee’s interstates, state routes, and major highways.
Why it matters to you
If you’re planning development near a highway or need to understand property access restrictions, this data shows exactly where fencing blocks access to major roads. Property owners and developers can check whether existing or planned access points to their land might be restricted by state-installed fencing. Business owners considering locations near highways can verify whether customers and deliveries can easily reach their property from nearby roads.
How to read this data
ROUTE — the highway designation where the fence is located, like “I0040” for Interstate 40. COUNTY_NAME — which Tennessee county contains this fence section, such as “Dickson.” LOC_DESC — which side of the road the fence is on, showing values like “Right.” BEG_LOG and END_LOG — the starting and ending mile markers where each fence section begins and ends, measured in decimal miles like 0.007 to 0.021.
Try it yourself
Search for your county name in the COUNTY_NAME field to see all access control fencing in your area, then look up specific routes you travel regularly to understand where highway access is restricted along your commute or business routes.
