The Roads database includes an inventory of road assets (roadways, blocks, intersections, sidewalks, curbs) with a spatial representation and various attached information.
Aggregate pavement-type road assets represent carriageways located in the public domain and which are part of the local or arterial road network. Aggregate pavements are represented by polygons that are aggregated by type of use. Among the information associated with a pavement object is the date of construction, the date of resurfacing, the date of survey, the materials of the pavement, the type of foundation, the presence of a bicycle lane, the use, etc.
Island-type road assets represent malls located in the public domain and which are juxtaposed to the local or arterial road network. The islands are represented by polygons that are differentiated by their configuration. Among the information associated with an island-type object is the date of construction, the date of survey, the materials of the block and the border, the presence of trees, the type of island, etc.
Intersection-type road assets represent road crossings located in the public domain and which are part of the local or arterial road network. Intersections are represented by polygons that are cut according to the number of traffic axes. Information associated with an intersecting object includes the construction date, resurfacing date, survey date, intersection materials, foundation type, presence of bike lanes, etc.
Sidewalk-type road assets represent sidewalks and curbs juxtaposed with carriageways located in the public domain and that are part of the local or arterial road network. Sidewalks and curbs are represented by polygons differentiated by category and type. Among the information associated with a sidewalk-type object is the date of construction, the date of survey, the type of sidewalk and curb, the materials of the sidewalk, the border and the developed strip, the presence of trees, the presence of a projection, the presence of a ledge, the presence of a bicycle lane, the use, etc.
The zone-type road assets represent the regions located between other road assets and that are not part of the local or arterial road network. The areas are represented by polygons. Among the information associated with a zone-like object is the type of zone, etc.
Data is also available in separate sets on the portal to support several uses:
- [Roadway and intersection] (/city-of-montreal/voirie-causee-intersection)
- [Sidewalk and island] (/city-of-montreal/voirie-trottoir-ilot)
- [Off-road zone] (/city-of-montreal/voirie-zone)
Warnings
- The data released on road assets are those in the possession of the City's geomatics team and are not necessarily up to date throughout the territory.
- The data released on road assets is provided for information purposes only and should not be used for the purposes of designing or carrying out works or for the location of assets.
