Esri, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics, and the GIS User Community Figure 33 Toll Point and Infrastructure Highway 104 Collection Cooridor Toll Point Toll points include physical, virtual or hybrid equipment and infrastructure for col- lecting tolls (although sometimes these characteristics may be unknown): • Physical toll booths are where toll charges are physically collected by the road's owners (i.e., either local or provincial authorities). • Virtual toll points are where a device, usually an overhead camera, automatically charges and records passing vehicles. • Hybrid includes both physical and virtual equipment side-by-side at the same toll point feature. 6 Ferry Segment Features A ferry's route connects vehicles between two fixed locations across a body of water. e ferry route is a linear representation between boarding points (also known as access ramps), where vehicles access the ferry. Mapping editors should represent the route between the boarding points as a straight line when there are no obsta- cles to transit as shown in Figure 34. With more than one ferry destination leaving from the same boarding point, the mapping editor should represent each ferry segment (also known as a ferry line), as shown in Figure 35. Where connections intersect one another, editors should not segment lines at the intersection, but they should represent the proper topographic relationships of the body of water (i.e., ferry segments should not cross through islands). Mapping editors should not represent other modes of ferrying, such as rail, air or even pedestrian, as part of the road network, and they should also represent ferry routes and ice bridges separately from one another. Ferry segments are not assigned Community Road Network Guide to Best Practices v4.0 25
