The Streets TIGER 2015 data set represents street centerlines acquired from the US Census Bureau. The TIGER acronym stands for Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing.
Street centerlines are widely used as a reference layer. The Census Bureau also uses the streets layer for delineating census blocks, and geocoding.

Varies: 1:12,000 to 1:100,000
Varies: The Census Bureau does accuracy tests using high-precision GPS at street intersections and documents errors per county. Not all streets have been re-aligned. Estimated accuracy range for re-aligned streets is +/- 23 to +/- 40 feet. Streets that have not been re-aligned can be over 300 feet off. Rural areas are more likely to be less accurate than urban areas.
