Dec 31, 2013 at 22:55 comment added dklassen Tom, you could use the Slope GRID and interpolate the different line segments - this will give you a slope value for each line segment - then you can categorize them! You also could use the original DEM and interpolate the line segements on this - getting the start and end elevations - then you can calculate the direction and average elevation change.

Dec 31, 2013 at 22:03 comment added whuber I would like to suggest that you back up a step and rethink the workflow, because a boolean combination of a slope raster and the roads just won't work: it will fail to distinguish roads that are perfectly level (and run along contours) from those that go straight up and down hill. Ultimately you will have to compute the directions in which every road segment heads. How that is done depends on the software you intend to use: please tag your question or edit it to provide that information.
