Historical Unplanned Footpath Closures in the ACT

Unplanned Footpath Closures (Historical Data) from the ACT Government Open Data records footpath closures within the Australian Capital Territory. The dataset, maintained by TCCS, contains all information logged since the implementation of an ESRI Survey 123 solution for Temporary Traffic Management Applications.

Use Cases

• Analyze closure patterns over time using the recorded date and location fields to identify high-frequency disruption areas.
• Assess the relationship between closure reasons and traffic management categories documented in the TTM Applications.
• Model the duration of footpath closures by calculating the interval between recorded start and end timestamps.

Strengths

• Data is updated regularly, with a last recorded update in March 2026.
• Provides multi-format access including RDF, JSON, CSV, and XML.
• Sourced from an authoritative government body, the ACT Government's TCCS.

Limitations

• The total number of records (rows) and specific data fields (columns) are not documented, limiting initial assessment of scope and structure.
• The description does not specify a precise start date, so the full historical time range is unclear.
• License is listed only as 'other', requiring users to investigate specific terms and restrictions.
