Mileage Markers on Québec Motorways and National Roads

Mileage markers, also known as kilometer markers, are installed on all motorways and certain other road classes in Québec to aid location identification. The dataset is provided by the Government and Municipalities of Québec and was last updated in March 2026. It is available in multiple geospatial formats including GPKG, GEOJSON, and SHP.

Use Cases

• Map marker locations from geospatial files (GPKG, GEOJSON) for road network visualization and analysis.
• Analyze marker distribution across different road classes (e.g., motorways, national roads) to assess coverage.
• Integrate marker data with other transportation datasets using spatial join keys for safety or maintenance planning.

Strengths

• Data is provided by the authoritative Government and Municipalities of Québec.
• Available in 8 different file formats, including multiple standard geospatial types (GPKG, GEOJSON, SHP, WFS).
• Dataset was updated in March 2026, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• No row count, column names, or sample data are provided, limiting immediate analytical understanding.
• The original description was machine-translated, which may introduce ambiguity in metadata interpretation.
• Spatial coverage is limited to Québec, Canada, and may not be applicable to other regions.
