Quebec Road Network With Municipal Attributes

Quebec Road Network Reference System (RQRR) integrates all roads in Quebec with descriptive attributes. It includes street names, structures, address ranges, municipality codes, and management data, updated monthly from municipal and provincial sources. The dataset is geolocated and available in multiple geospatial formats.

Use Cases

• Analyze road management assignments across municipality name and code jurisdictions.
• Map address ranges to street name (odonym) for geocoding and routing applications.
• Track infrastructure changes using date of creation, modification, and withdrawal fields.
• Integrate road network data with structures information for transportation planning.

Strengths

• Updated monthly, ensuring regular data refreshes.
• Integrates data from authoritative sources including Elections Quebec and multiple ministries.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GPKG, GEOJSON).
• Covers all roads in Quebec, including municipal and higher networks.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column count, and sample data are unavailable, limiting initial assessment.
• Relies on automated translation for some metadata, which may introduce interpretation errors.
• A planned web service is not available until 2026, limiting current access methods.
