A Road feature is a link set which represents a collection of RoadLink features used primarily by motorised vehicles that share the same name (e.g. Bilston Road) or classification number (e.g. A41). A Road will reference the complete collection of RoadLink features irrespective of which authority boundary it falls within. The feature will include Motorways, A Roads, B Roads and Named Thoroughfares (roads), as illustrated above.
The link set may not be contiguous across junctions or where a classified road consists of separate sections, which may be separated by some considerable distance. In addition, the same RoadLink feature may be referenced by multiple Road features.
The context diagram shows how the Road has been inherited from INSPIRE and the attribution held on the Road.
A compound feature that represents a road with a name or number. This may be a classified road, such as the A38, or a named road such as Romsey Road. This references a collection of RoadLinks.
Constraints: If the roadClassification = "Motorway" or "A Road" or "B Road" then the nationalRoadCode shall not be null.
