Figure 23 Intersection with an Offset greater than the Minimum Size Figure 22 Intersection with an Offset Less than the Minimum Size Greater than or equal to 2.0 m Less than 2.0 m In cases where two roads meet at an intersection with an offset less than 2.0 metres, editors should represent their junction located at a mid-point between the two roads, as shown in Figure 22. However, where the offset is greater than or equal to 2.0 metres, the junction should be represented by two road intersections formed by three road segments, as shown in Figure 23. 3.2.8 Roads Crossing Administrative Boundaries For roads that cross neighboring administrative boundaries, mapping editors should connect each road segment's centreline precisely with each of their neighbouring municipalities' road segments. (See Figure 4 in Section 3 for a diagram of a road seg- ment crossing a municipal boundary.) Each agency responsible for road centrelines should agree to where their respective road centrelines connect at their neighbour- ing boundaries; this is an NG9-1-1 requirement. For roads that run along a municipal boundary, mapping editors from both munic- ipalities should choose one of the following methods (according to their circum- stances) to best represent these roads: (i) one municipality is responsible for the road and records its attributes in a geospatial database; (ii) both municipalities share responsibility for the road and record its attributes while ensuring that positional accuracy is maintained between both municipal agencies (i.e., road segments should share the same geographic properties: the same coordinates for all end points); (iii) a provincial or federal agency claims responsibility for the road, records its attri- butes and ensures its positional accuracy.
