# Transport Link overview
{% hint style="info" %}
The information on this page supplements that of the [Transport Link](/os-downloads/products/transport-network-portfolio/os-multi-modal-routing-network/os-mrn-technical-specification/feature-types/transport-link.md) page in the [technical specification](/os-downloads/products/transport-network-portfolio/os-multi-modal-routing-network/os-mrn-technical-specification.md). Please read the two pages in conjunction for a complete understanding of the feature type.
{% endhint %}
A Transport Link is a linear spatial object that defines the geometry and connectivity of a road, path, rail, or ferry network between two points in the network. Transport Links are split for connectivity purposes (for example, at junctions) and [Transport Nodes](/os-downloads/products/transport-network-portfolio/os-multi-modal-routing-network/os-mrn-overview/feature-types-overview/transport-node-overview.md) connect the Transport Links together. Each Transport Link provides a reference to the Transport Nodes at the start and end of the Transport Link.
Transport Links contain information about the type of link (for example, highway='motorway') and information about the access restrictions for vehicles to indicate which modes can travel along the link (e.g motor\_vehicle=’yes’). There is also a maximum speed attribute, and two average speed attributes:
* a conditional delimited list of all the speeds at different time periods
* a single average speed using the Mon-Fri 12-2 pm period.
Transport Links also incorporate Modal Change links which are a linear spatial object representing a logical connection between the transport network and a transport site. See the [Modal Change](/os-downloads/products/transport-network-portfolio/os-multi-modal-routing-network/os-mrn-overview/modal-change.md) page for more information.
The Transport Link is attributed with a unique (but not persistent) WayID, which routing software uses to build out the network. Transport Links are also attributed with the OSID of the corresponding OS parent feature that is published in the OS NGD Transport Theme.

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.os.uk/os-downloads/products/transport-network-portfolio/os-multi-modal-routing-network/os-mrn-overview/feature-types-overview/transport-link-overview.md?ask=
```
The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
