Quebec Road Network with Functional Class and Linear Reference

2026-03-25 updated road network data for Quebec, managed by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility. The dataset represents roads by functional class and uses the RTSS linear reference system with a 14-character alphanumeric code and chaining distance in meters. File formats include SHP, GEOJSON, CSV, and GPKG.

Use Cases

• Map road segments by functional class categories like Highway, National, or Local for infrastructure planning.
• Analyze road lengths using the chaining distance measure and RTSS linear reference system for maintenance scheduling.
• Integrate road geometry from SHP or GEOJSON files with the 14-character alphanumeric route codes for GIS applications.

Strengths

• Data is current, with a last update timestamp of 2026-03-25.
• Provides multiple file formats including SHP, GEOJSON, CSV, and GPKG for flexible use.
• Includes detailed road classification with categories like Highway, National, Regional, Collector, and Local.

Limitations

• Unknown row count and column structure limits assessment of dataset scale and feature completeness.
• Automated translation of metadata may introduce inaccuracies or unclear technical descriptions.
