The Base Features Access and Facility Roads spatial layer is the authoritative source of road data for the province of Alberta. It is a part of the Access data collection which also includes railways, powerlines, cutlines and trails, and industrial facilities.

Forest resource roads (FRR) are actively used for accessing forest resources. FRRs are tracked and managed in a road management database. These roads do not represent a complete road network, they should be viewed in conjunction with the Roads -50k - Canvec dataset. Many FRRs are gated with controlled access. There are four categories of roads in the dataset: Forest Resource Roads (act); Forest Resource Access (non-act), Public Access (non-act) and auxiliary roads:- Forest resources road (Act): a road constructed, modified or maintained for the purpose of providing access for forest resources harvesting or management of forest resources that is authorized under subsection 32(1) of the Act, or a road designated as forest resources road under section 73 of the Regulation. These roads were constructed or designated after the Forest Resources Act and Regulation were enacted. - Forest resource access (non-Act): a road constructed, modified or maintained for the purpose of providing access for forest resources harvesting or management of forest resources that is considered a capital investment by the Government of Yukon, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Forest Management Branch. These roads were constructed prior to the enactment of the Forest Resources Act. - Public Access (non act): a pre-existing public road. In this road network all Public Access is part of the forest resource access network. - Auxiliary access: a variety of access types that do not conform to the above descriptions and may include: research forest trails, skid trails, heritage trails, trails that access forest resources.

A Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Road Barrier is when access to a road segment or network is restricted or controlled. Road authorities in Ontario have the mandated responsibility to construct roads or have them constructed on their behalf. They include: * Ministry of Natural Resources (resource access roads and park roads) * Municipalities * Ministry of Transportation * Ministry of Northern Development and Mines * Federal government (roads on federal lands, e.g. national parks, Dept. of Defense) * First Nations * Other, e.g., local roads boards This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

Information about roads under Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) jurisdiction may fall within the responsibility of several different ministry branches and including: * Forests Division * Parks, Lands & Waters Branch * Resource access roads The dataset also contains roads not under the jurisdiction of the MNR like municipal roads and provincial highways. These are sourced from the Ontario Road Network.

The data represents roads not maintained by DTI whose primary purpose is to access the forest resources on crown or private land within the province.

Road segments from the Adresses Québec geobase including attributes relating to trucking regulations issued by municipalities. The integration of updates is carried out periodically by the MTMD in collaboration with the municipalities.- **Transit routes** “Legend: Transit (permit)”:Roads to which access is authorized for all heavy vehicles. These roads have a minimum of restrictions on the movement of heavy vehicles. The minimum level of restriction for drivers on this network means that drivers should be encouraged to use it as often as possible. This network is to be preferred.- **Restricted roads** “Legend: Restricted”: Roads to which access is authorized for all heavy vehicles. However, these roads may include some restrictions on the movement of heavy vehicles. Example: Bridge subject to a load restriction (visible in the legend under “Load limit”), restricted headroom, steep slope, winding and/or narrow road, etc. - **Roads partially prohibited** “Legend: Partially prohibited”: Roads whose access is partially prohibited to heavy vehicles. The characteristics motivating such a classification may concern:*- Periods of prohibition to drive (Hours, days); **- A limit on the number of axles authorized; **- A limit on the weight of vehicles (tonnage); **- A limit on the length of vehicles authorized to drive on the road. *- **Roads prohibited** “Legend: Forbidden (except local delivery)”: Roads prohibited to transit, except for local delivery needs. These roads may include restrictions on the movement of heavy vehicles. Note: These roads are identified by the road sign “Access prohibited to heavy vehicles” to which is attached a sign “Except local delivery”.- **Unclassified roads** “Legend: Unclassified”: Roads that do not have any classification.- **Roads whose classification is not applicable** “Legend: Not applicable”: Generally, for roads located outside the province of Quebec.Please note that road signs take precedence over this data, which is available for download and consultation on the interactive map.

The Base Features Access Powerline spatial layer is the authoritative source of powerline data for the province of Alberta. It is a part of the Access data collection which also includes railways, roads, cutlines and trails, and industrial facilities.

OTHERROAD_OFFICIAL provides the geospatial information of urban road network in the Province of Saskatchewan. It is one of the base layer used to create "Roadseg" layer for Saskatchewan Upgraded Road Network (SURN) and National Road Network (NRN). This data layer contains relatively up-to-date and accurate description of all urban roads in the provinceOTHERROAD_OFFICIAL consists of all the roads within the urban limits and any other roads those are not the part of RURALROAD_OFFICIAL and HIGHWAY_OFFICIAL. Original geometry of this layer is derived from National Road Network data layer. Urban Municipalities are responsible of the correctness and currentness of the Urban road network and Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) maintained OTHERROAD_OFFICIAL data layer/table according to the NRN standards. Unique Identifiers (NID) is associated with each line segment. "OTHER_ROAD_ID" is an auto generated unique ID for each road segment in OTHER_ROAD_OFFICIAL. "NID" National Identifier is used to manage the updates between data producer and data users. OTHERROAD_OFFICIAL data layer is one of the important data table for SURN, NRN, SASK911, CAR and other applications.
