string

Element categorization.

ada - Accessibility features such as detectable warnings and pavement markings related to requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

arrow - Arrow pavement markings as listed in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) 11th Edition.
