Montreal Road Network Intersection Points

Geobase - Nodes is a spatial dataset of points (knots) representing intersections and limits of road sections in Montreal. It is a companion dataset to the Geobase road network, provided by the City of Montreal under an open data policy. The dataset was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Spatially join knot points with the Geobase road network sections to analyze intersection density.
• Filter knots by their specific type attribute to identify special cases like cul-de-sacs or road termini.
• Use knot locations as reference points for network topology validation and connectivity analysis.

Strengths

• Data is part of an official municipal geospatial series (Geobase) from the City of Montreal.
• Maintained and updated by the municipal Geomatics Division, with a recent update in March 2026.
• Available in multiple machine-readable formats including CSV and JSON for accessibility.

Limitations

• Specific data volume (row count) and attribute details (columns) are not provided in the metadata.
• The data provider explicitly warns of potential inaccuracies and that the data may not be fully up-to-date.
• Intended for informational purposes only, not for engineering design or asset location, limiting its application scope.
