Edmonton Road Traffic Disruptions and Closures

Traffic disruptions on Edmonton roads include major closures, construction, travel delays, and special events. Records contain details like disruption ID, dates, status, street locations, impact, and duration. The dataset is maintained by data.edmonton.ca and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Predict traffic congestion by analyzing `Impact` and `Duration` of events listed in `Activity Type`.
• Model the spatial distribution of disruptions using `On Street`, `From Street`, and `To Street` columns with geospatial `point` data.
• Analyze seasonal patterns in road work by clustering events based on `Start Date` and `Finish Date`.
• Classify disruption severity by training models on the `Status` and `Closure` fields.
• Assess equity of disruption impacts across city wards using the `City of Edmonton - Ward Boundaries` column.

Strengths

• Contains multiple geospatial reference columns including `point` and several ward boundary layers for spatial analysis.
• Offers multiple data export formats including CSV, JSON, XML, and RDF.

Limitations

• Unknown total row count and dataset size limits assessment of statistical power.
• Temporal coverage is unspecified, making it unclear if data represents a short snapshot or long-term history.
