A Path Link is a line segment representing the alignment of a path. Path Links hold information about the name of the path, its length and its nature, alongside other attribution which is detailed in the OS MasterMap Highways Network – Paths Technical Specification. Path Links define the geometry and connectivity of the Path Network between two points.
Path Links will be captured where:
They provide a route that cannot be inferred from the Road Network
They provide connectivity between road networks
There is a canal path or tow path
There are paths over footbridges and under subways
Path Links will not be captured where:
They run parallel to the Road Network, for example, a pavement
They are within school boundaries and cemeteries where there are closing times
They are connected to a motorway
There is a physical obstruction which prevents connectivity
There are multiple paths that essentially serve the same purpose when some rationalisation is applied
