Figure 9 Two-way Road with Demarcated Traffic Lane Figure 10 Road without a Lane Marker Shoulder Sidewalk Centreline Shoulder Shoulder Centreline 3.1.3 New Roads New roads should be represented with names (especially in new developments) as soon as they are navigable by emergency vehicles. Editors should designate these roads as either for non-public use or for NG9-1-1 use only, and they should like- wise omit these roads on general reference maps until they are open for public use. 3.2 Road and Centreline Representation Mapping editors should represent a road segment as a centreline. In many cases, a centreline corresponds with a lane marker for two-way traffic flow. Figure 9 illus- trates a case where the flow of two-way, opposing traffic is clearly demarcated by a lane marker. Along either roadside, a shoulder or a sidewalk bounds the centreline. When lanes, however, are ambiguous (i.e., there exists no clearly demarcated traffic lanes), editors should instead use the road segment's centreline to represent the general flow of traffic. Figure 10 represents a two-way road segment with opposing traffic flow but without lanes. In this case, the shoulders along the roadside are used to determine where a road segment's centreline on a map should be represented. Community Road Network Guide to Best Practices v4.0 7
