Road (present in Roads & RAMI products)

A Road feature holds information about road names and road numbers which have been captured by Ordnance Survey. A Road feature will reference the Road Links which share the same name (for example, Wellington Road in the image below) or number (for example, the A41 in the lower image), irrespective of which local authority is responsible for it. The link set may not be contiguous across junctions or where a road consists of separate sections, which may be separated by some considerable distance. A Road Link could be referenced by multiple Road features.
