Manitoba Highway Inventory 2017

About this dataset

An accurate depiction of road structure construction history of the Highway Network in Manitoba. Manitoba Infrastructure --> Highway Engineering--> Highway Planning and Design (HPD) manages the Highway Inventory System (HIS). This system tracks road structure and construction history of Manitoba's Road Network. Published annually, this layer aids provincial engineers in planning and managing construction projects, both present and future. The department’s linear referencing system (LRS) uses control sections as a linear referencing method (LRM). These control section are further divided into subsections. It is on these subsections that road structure and construction history are tracked in the highway inventory system database. Please note that this feature layer primarily contains only the roads Manitoba Infrastructure is responsible for, i.e. Provincial Trunk Highways, Provincial Roads and Access Roads. It does not include municipal mile or grid roads. However, you may also see Earth Roads (under construction) or Other roads (such as those passing through national parks and are federal responsibility). A newer version of this data is available: Manitoba Highway Inventory 2018. Field List - FIELD NAME (Field Alias (i.e. display name)) in parenthesis) OBJECTID (OBJECTID) - Sequential, unique whole numbers are automatically generated.SHAPE (SHAPE) - A field to hold geometry information. ID (ID) - Oracle's unique identifierCS_ID (Control Section ID) - Non unique identifier linking segment to its respective control section. For example, a control section may have numerous geometry segments and each will have the same CS_ID.CS_KEY (Control Section Key) - An information rich key containing Region (two digits), Road Number (three digits), Section number (three digits), the Road Type (one character), and direction of travel (one character). SS_ID (Subsection ID) - Control Sections are further divided into Subsections. This is the subsection ID field.REGION_NO (MI Region) - The Manitoba Infrastructure region the segment is in Regions 1-5.ROAD_NO (Road Number) - The road number. Note co-routes will have the lesser highway number. SECTION_NO (Section Number) - The section number from the CS_KEY.ROAD_TYPE (Road Type) - H = Highway, E = Earth Road, and O= 'Other" road (such as through a national park because the road is not a responsibility of MI.) ROAD_DIRECTION (Road Direction) - A = ahead direction on a divided highway (i.e. following the digitizing direction), B = Back direction on a divided highway (i.e. against the digitizing direction, and U= an undivided highway.START_KM (Start Kilometre (KM)) - Start KM, is the start of the sub section within a control Section. This is part of the linear referencing method used for dynamic segmentation.END_KM (End Kilometre (KM)) - End KM is the end of the sub section within a Control Section. This is part of the linear referencing method used for dynamic segmentation.LENGTH_KM (Length (KM)) - End Kilometre minus the Start Kilometre.SECTION_DESC (Subsection Description) - A text description of where the subsection starts and ends. ROAD_TYPE_DESC (Road Type Description) - An unabbreviated version of Road Type above.ROAD_DIRECTION_DESC (Road Direction Description) - An unabbreviated version of Road Direction above.FUNCTIONAL_CLASS (Functional Class) - Functional Class: Expressway, Primary Arterial, Secondary Arterial and CollectorDIVIDED_STATUS (Divided Status) - Highway is divided or undivided. LANES (Number of Lanes) - The number of lanes the road has. MEDIAN_TYPE (Median Type) - Type of median: Raised Median, Depressed Median, Flush Median, Barrier and No Median.MEDIAN_WIDTH (Median Width (m)) - The width of the median, in metres.ROW_WIDTH (Row Width (m)) - The total width of the right-of-way in metres.SUBGRADE_WIDTH (Subgrade Width (m)) - The width of the earth embankment in metres. REGRADE_YEAR (Re-grade Year) - The year the road was last regraded.REGRADE_DESCRIPTION (Re-grade Description) - D
