New Brunswick Highway Network with Functional Class and Route Numbers

A linear reference network of roads and highways managed by the New Brunswick Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. The dataset includes roads segmented by control section identifier and functional class, identified by road name and route number. It was last updated on June 3, 2026, and is provided by the Government of New Brunswick.

Use Cases

• Analyze road network connectivity based on the linear reference system.
• Map highway assets and functional classifications for infrastructure planning.
• Perform spatial queries on road segments using the control section identifiers.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (SHP, GEOJSON, KML, KMZ).
• Managed by a government department (DTI), suggesting an authoritative source.
• Includes segmentation by functional class and DTI control sections.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to open_canada, as it only includes DTI-managed roads.
