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

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

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).

All bridges in Ontario are inspected every 2 years using the Ontario Structure Inspection Manual (OSIM) format. The weighted condition of all elements is summarized in the Bridge Condition Index (BCI). More details about the BCI can be found on [the Bridge Safety page](http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/highway-bridges/ontario-bridges.shtml) on the Ministry of Transportation website. Bridges that were recently constructed or recently transferred to the Ministry of Transportation may not have been inspected in OSIM format yet. *[OSIM]: Ontario Structure Inspection Manual *[BCI]: Bridge Condition Index

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

The Ministry of Transportation's Remote Northern Transportation Office in Thunder Bay operates 29 airports. These are located in Ontario's far north, extending from the Manitoba border on the west to Hudson's Bay on the north and to the Quebec border on the east. Except for Pickle Lake and Armstrong, these airports serve aboriginal communities, which have no all-weather road access to the rest of Ontario.
