# Road Link attribution

The [Road Link Feature Type](/osngd/data-structure/transport/transport-network/road-link.md) can be found in the OS Transport Network Collection of the OS NGD Transport Theme. This feature type represents line geometry for Great Britain’s road system and provides a routable network when used in conjunction with the [Road Node Feature Type](/osngd/data-structure/transport/transport-network/road-node.md).

Attribution is provided against Road Links (data schema version 5.0 onward) to indicate the presence of bus lanes; you can use the data to see if there is bus lane infrastructure present along a road or path and quantify how much there is.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that bus lane infrastructure is often disconnected in the real world, which will impact the continuity of the Bus Lane Presence attribution.

## Key attribution

Key Bus Lane Presence attribution on the Road Link Feature Type includes:

* **Overall Presence and Percentage**​: Indicate the length (in metres) and the percentage of the Road Link that has a bus lane present on it. ([Presence Of Bus Lane Overall M](/osngd/data-structure/transport/transport-network/road-link.md#presenceofbuslane_overall_m) and [Presence Of Bus Lane Overall Percentage](/osngd/data-structure/transport/transport-network/road-link.md#presenceofbuslane_overallpercentage) attributes.)
* **In Direction Presence and Percentage**​: Indicate the length (in metres) and the percentage of the Road Link that has a bus lane present on it that can be traversed in the direction of digitisation of the Road Link. ([Presence Of Bus Lane In Direction M](/osngd/data-structure/transport/transport-network/road-link.md#presenceofbuslane_indirection_m) and [Presence Of Bus Lane In Direction Percentage](/osngd/data-structure/transport/transport-network/road-link.md#presenceofbuslane_indirectionpercentage).)
* **In Opposite Direction Presence and Percentage**​: Indicate the length (in metres) and the percentage of the Road Link that has a bus lane present on it that can be traversed against the direction of digitisation of the Road Link. ([Presence Of Bus Lane In Opposite Direction M](/osngd/data-structure/transport/transport-network/road-link.md#presenceofbuslane_inoppositedirection_m) and [Presence Of Bus Lane In Opposite Direction Percentage](/osngd/data-structure/transport/transport-network/road-link.md#presenceofbuslane_inoppositedirectionpercentage).)

### Note about percentages

Please note that percentage values are given to the nearest whole percent (for example, 15% not 14.8%). In cases where only a very small length of Bus Lane is associated with a Road Link, the percentage value will be rounded to 0% if the length is less than 0.5% of the length of the Road Link; therefore, you may see a small number of instances where a length in metres is populated but the percentage is 0%.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

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/osngd/using-os-ngd-data/os-ngd-transport/bus-lanes/road-link-attribution.md?ask=<question>
```

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.
