Alberta Road Network With Functional Class And Attributes

2005 edition data contains two linear entities (Road Segment, Ferry Connection Segment) and three punctual entities (Junction, Blocked Passage, Toll Point). It was developed through meetings with federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal data providers and adopted by the Inter-Agency Committee on Geomatics and the Canadian Council on Geomatics. The dataset includes descriptive attributes like Street Name Body, Functional Road Class, and Route Number.

Use Cases

• Map address ranges using First House Number and Last House Number attributes for geocoding systems.
• Analyze road infrastructure capacity by querying Functional Road Class and Number Of Lanes columns.
• Identify transportation barriers by locating Blocked Passage and Toll Point entities.
• Route planning and navigation using Route Number, Route Name, and Exit Number fields.
• Assess pavement condition and maintenance needs based on the Pavement Status attribute.

Strengths

• Conforms to the ISO 14825 standard for geographic data files.
• Developed through a collaborative process with multiple levels of government.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column count, and temporal coverage details are unavailable.
• Data is based on a 2005 edition, which may not reflect recent infrastructure changes.
