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).**

Data on the depth of freezing and thawing in road pavements managed by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (MTMD). Since the 2008-2009 winter period, these data have been calculated using temperature measurements recorded by weather stations located on the Quebec road network. In particular, these stations are equipped with a 3.0 m long probe to measure the hourly average temperature at various levels in the roadway. Average freezing and thawing depth values are then calculated on a daily basis. It should be assumed that the data is specific to the location and date of measurement only. Any interpretation of the continuity of measurements in space and time is left to the discretion of the user. It is also important to note that the start and end dates of load restriction periods take into account a combination of factors including the location of the stations on the road network and the spatial representativeness of the measurements.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The center point of the inhabited place is located, as the case may be, at the center of the economic and commercial activity of the inhabited place, in the oldest neighborhood, at a road intersection, near an important physical landmark such as a church or a town hall, or at the center of gravity of a concentration of homes. Place names are mostly names of inhabited places. Those written in straight characters correspond to the official names of municipalities and those in italics represent common names (former municipality, village, district, sector, hamlet, locality). In some cases, the common name is shown in brackets along with the official name. Names of uninhabited places are included as geographical reference points.**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).**
