ConnectingNode

A ConnectingNode is a point feature that identifies where a Path connects to the Road Network. The ConnectingNode connects to the start or end of one or more RoadLinks and provides a reference to one of the RoadLinks it connects to. Connecting Nodes are spatially coincident with RoadNodes and can share the same identifier. The ConnectingNode is referenced by a ConnectingLink.

The context diagram below shows how the ConnectingNode relates to the RoadLink.

Three-dimensional geometry has been applied to ConnectingNode features. This is to facilitate routing that requires coincidence of co-ordinates. Given the nature of connecting feature this geometry is for connectivity purposes only.
