Geobase - road network

The geobase is a filamentary network of straight segments commonly called “sections”, which are generally digitized at the center of the street. A section is then a portion of road with homogeneous characteristics described mainly by the following attributes: an official and current toponym, address ranges and a reference to administrative boundaries (boroughs, municipal boundaries, neighborhoods as the case may be).
