Generally, TLIDs have remained the same between the 2006 Second Edition TIGER/Line files and the TIGER/Line Shapefiles. In some cases, lines that have been split or redrawn have been assigned new TLIDs. Throughout the realignment process that was part of the MAF/TIGER Accuracy Improvement Project, TLIDs remained the same with one exception. That is, if an existing edge could not be spatially corrected by moving it, then it would be deleted and redrawn. The newly created line would be assigned a new TLID.
