1. A computer-implemented method for providing a description of a road segment using location reference points, the method comprising the steps of: providing two first location reference points configured to identify a road including a road segment, where a first point of the two first location reference points corresponds to a first location along the road and a second point of the two first location reference points corresponds to a second location along the road; providing two second location reference points configured to identify a portion of the road between the first location and the second location where the road segment is located; and generating, through the use of a processor, a description of the road segment based on the two first location reference points and the two second location reference points.
