What this tracks
This dataset maps mowable grass areas along Tennessee’s interstates, state routes, and local highways where slopes are gentle enough (less than 3:1) for maintenance crews to cut safely.
Why it matters to you
If you run a landscaping business, this data shows exactly where TDOT prioritizes mowing contracts—helping you bid on routes like SR396 in Williamson County. Residents near highways can check QUANTITY to see how much grassy area TDOT maintains near their neighborhood, which affects weed control and roadside visibility.
How to read this data
COUNTY_NAME — The county where the mowable area is located (e.g., “Williamson”).
ROUTE — The highway identifier (e.g., “SR396”).
LOC_DESC — Which side of the road is mowed (e.g., “Right”).
QUANTITY — Acres maintained in that segment (e.g., “4.037”).
