This date set contains up-to date information regarding current and future roadwork occuring on provicnally owned and maintained highways, and is available to be viewed on [Ontario 511](https://511on.ca) under the "construction and roadwork" layer. This data set can also be viewed on the Ontario 511 text report page at https://511on.ca/list/roadwork.

The Cordon Count Data (CCD) includes directional traffic counts at selected sites to understand how vehicles and people move across the region. Traffic data includes the number of vehicles as well as the number of passengers transported by different vehicle types and the transit system. The interval of CCD collection varies 2-3 years across agencies. CCD provides data for three time periods: 13 hours, AM peak periods, and PM peak periods. Summary data are provided for these three time periods for different screen lines, and directions. *[CCD]: Cordon Count Data

Used within the Travellers Road Information Portal Interactive Map to convey transportation related information in both official languages. Contains a list of ferry service locations operated by the Ministry of Transportation within Ontario. 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](http://www.google.com/earth/index.html) **.** This data set is now available via the Ontario 511 Developer API at *[KML]: Keyhole Markup Language

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

Data tracking historical truck travel speeds from the road network performance project. The travel speeds, Travel Time Index (TTI), Delay Index (DI) and Buffer Time Index (BTI) were calculated with GPS data collected by GPS fleet tracking units. This data is used by the Ministry of Transportation to monitor truck speed and performance on major roadways within Ontario. *[GPS]: Global Positioning System

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

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

High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes are designated lanes that can only be used by vehicles carrying two or more people or other specifc types of vehicles, such as licensed taxis and motorcycles. For more information regarding HOV lanes, please visit [HOV](https://www.ontario.ca/page/high-occupancy-vehicle-hov-lanes). HOV lanes can also be viewed on a map, by visiting [Ontario 511](https://511on.ca), and can be found under the "service" layer.

Pavement condition data is collected annually using an Automatic Road Analyzer (ARAN). Based on the automated data, the condition of the pavement is evaluated in terms of distresses (Distress Manifestation Index, DMI), wheel track rutting (in mm) and roughness (International Roughness Index, IRI). These indices are integrated into one Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for overall pavement condition reporting and analysis.

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.]: for example *[US]: United States
