You use the Features application to create, to modify, and to delete the features used with linear assets. A feature is a physical object, such as a guard rail or a mile marker, that you associate with one or more linear assets. Features are not tracked with unique identifiers. You apply costs associated with a feature to the linear asset that has a unique identifier. Use the Assets application to associate features with linear assets, and to specify a classification for the feature.
A road is a linear asset. The features of a road include guard rails, mile posts, signs, traffic lights, pavement, culverts, intersections, and so on.
