Dear Ms Chim,
Thank you for the data. The dataset looks fine.
Aside from the data, may I ask is there a way to get the Street Type of the roads within Centerlines, for example, whether the road is an expressway or a secondary road. If such information is not available within TD, would you suggest another department that may hold this information.
Yours sincerely,
Sha Yu Hin
Dear Mr Sha,
I refer to your email dated 18.10.2021. Our reply is as follows.
Please refer to Appendix B or C of Annual Traffic Census (ATC) Report for
information about road types. We do not have complete set of centerlines
with road types.
ATC reports can be downloaded from the webpage below -
