The Route Blanche is a snowmobile trail located on the Lower North Shore, constituting the only winter land link between Kegaska and Blanc-Sablon, thus bridging the road link between municipalities. The White Road is inventoried in the BGR system with the sub-route code “M”, as in this example: 00138-13-145-M1A0. Note: The Route Blanche route is already part of the “Road Network - RTSS” dataset https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/reseau-routier-rtss. The need is to be able to have a metadata sheet to describe its distinction from the road network and to be able to download the data set exclusively (without obtaining the entire road network).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Punctual location of the refuges on the Route Blanche. The Route Blanche is a snowmobile trail located on the Lower North Shore, constituting the only winter land link between Kegaska and Blanc-Sablon, thus bridging the road link between municipalities. Note: The White Road shelters are already part of the “Establishment” dataset https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/etablissement-du-mtq (see “Refuge” in the “typetablis” attribute column). The need is to be able to have a metadata sheet to describe its distinction from other establishments in the Ministry and to be able to download the dataset exclusively (without obtaining all the institutions).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Linear network representing by colors the winter road conditions on the segments of roads and highways managed by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (MTMD), as well as the visibility and presence of snow blades on them. Winter road conditions are updated once a day from October 15 to April 15 inclusively, between 3 am and 6 am, and whenever conditions change. Outside this period, only road conditions that are partially covered, covered or with zero visibility are transmitted. - Continuous data: taken daily between 3 am and 6 am and at all changes in conditions. - Current year data: compilation of daily data for the current year. - Historical data: compilation of daily data for the current year. - Historical data: compilation of daily data for the following years: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2018, 2019, 2020.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The Quebec road network, which is managed by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (MTMD), is represented on the interactive map according to the functional class of roads: Autoroute, National, Regional, Collector, Local 1-2-3, Local 1-2-3, Access resources, Access to resources and isolated locations. Some routes in the dataset are also under federal management or in public-private partnerships (PPP). The road network is inventoried according to the MTMD linear reference system. The linear reference is expressed under the acronym RTSS (Road, Section, Section, Sub-road). The inventoried roads are composed of a 14-character alphanumeric code and an associated measure called chaining (distance measured in meters). An inventoried route will therefore have a starting link (always 0) and an end link representing its length. Thus, the chaining value of a point can be extrapolated precisely to this point. The linear reference method is applied both in the field by different reference points and for the management of digital data of related road assets.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Punctual location of relay villages. A relay village is a municipality of less than 10,000 inhabitants recognized by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (MTMD) which offers, with the help of its merchants, a variety of services and a pleasant and safe stopping place. In addition to basic services, the Villages-Relais offer travelers tourist, cultural and natural attractions, quality facilities and an environment that reflects their image, thus giving visitors the option of extending their stay. The Village-Relais concept was developed in order to reduce the effects of fatigue while driving and thus improve safety on the roads.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Data on the friendliness of roads for cyclists reflect as accurately as possible the conditions encountered on roads managed by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (MTMD). The levels of usability are determined according to the following three criteria: the posted speed is low; the shoulders are wide and paved; the flow of vehicles, especially trucks, is limited. According to these criteria, roads are classified as follows: - Friendly road (generally in accordance with bicycle lane standards) - Moderately friendly road (presenting constraints to the safety and comfort of cyclists) - Non-user-friendly road (presenting significant constraints for the safety of cyclists) - Road prohibited to cyclists (highway, for example). Note: Specific conditions that are not safe for cyclists can occur along a segment of the road, even if it is described as “friendly.”**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
