Scottish Trunk Road Network for Data Attribution

A geospatial dataset from the Government Digital Service detailing roads under the authority of Scottish Ministers. The service provides a subdivision of the network into roads of similar characteristics, intended for attaching other data. The last update date and exact scale are unknown.

Use Cases

• Road network segmentation and analysis based on the described subdivision into roads of similar characteristics.
• Attaching external datasets (e.g., traffic counts, accident data) to a structured road network framework.
• Mapping and visualizing the trunk road infrastructure for which Scottish Ministers are the Roads Authority.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Government Digital Service.
• The network is structured for data attribution, suggesting a defined schema.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
