Nova Scotia Road Network (NSRN)

The Nova Scotia Road Network (NSRN) is the authoritative source for road centerlines in the province. This 3D coverage contains addressed roads and non-addressed roads and has several descriptive attributes to define a roadway such as number of lanes, surface type, and road class. The NSRN is used to contribute the Nova Scotia portion of the federal National Road Network (NRN). The NSRN is available in the UTM projection with the following two datums: • UTM/NAD83v3 & CGVD28 horizontal & vertical datum. • UTM/NAD83v6 & CGVG2010 horizontal & vertical datum. (This version is currently only available via the NS Geographic Data Directory)
