This data, also known as the Linear Highway Referencing System (LHRS), is used to locate events along the highway network. Three separate files make up the LHRS dataset: LHRS route is a spatial (GIS) representation of the highway network; LHRS Base Points divide the highway network into base sections with known driven distances; LHRS features points (composite listing) are additional described locations along the highway network. The location of events can be identified by a driven distance, along the LHRS route from a given LHRS Base point or feature point. *[GIS]: Geographic Information System *[LHRS]: Linear Highway Referencing System

Information about roads under MNRF 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 MNRF like municipal roads and provincial highways. These are sourced from the Ontario Road Network. *[MNRF]: Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry

A detailed listing outlining the 23 year history (1988-2010) of traffic volumes on Provincial Highways (King's, Secondary, Tertiary Roads and the 7000 series highways). The highway network is divided into approximately 1600 sections for reporting purposes. Seasonal traffic volume variations are estimated for each section. Although local conditions cause variations, the volumes shown are considered to adequately represent the section.

This data provides core information on truck travel and commodity flows on the provincial highway network and other significant truck corridors. It provide ESAL information for all provincial highways and other significant truck corridors by road segment. *[ESAL]: Equivalent Single Axle Load

Border crossings are a feature included on the Official Road Map of Ontario (ORM) for information purposes to the travelling public. Includes highway-land and ferry crossings. It was created as part of the Digital Cartographic Reference Base (DCRB) for the production of the ORM. *[ORM]: Official Road Map

This index identifies project areas on provincial highways where aerial photography and photogrammetric mapping has been collected.

Interchanges are shown on the Official Road Map of Ontario (ORM) as information for the travelling public. This feature class includes all interchanges on provincial highways as well as interchanges on other roads (eg. Municipal, outside of Ontario and US) that are shown on the ORM. *[ORM]: Official Road Map *[eg.

Used within the Travellers Road Information Portal Interactive Map to convey transportation related information in both official languages. Contains a list of the 23 service centres managed by the Ministry of Transportation along Highway 401 from Windsor to the Quebec border, and along a portion of Highway 400 north of Toronto. This data is best viewed using Google Earth or similar Keyhole Markup Language (KML) compatible software. For instructions on how to use Google Earth, read the Google Earth tutorial **.

Glacier and Mount Revelstoke National Parks are bisected by a major national commercial highway (Hwy #1). Vehicle collisions with wildlife are a major stressor and have serious social, economic, and ecological impacts. Animals crossing highways are at risk of mortality and people traveling in vehicles risk personal injury. Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks record the location, species and number of mortalities that occur on driveable roads to analyze highway related mortality and identify key areas for mitigation measures.
