Dear Sir/ Madam,

Our department has received your request for access to information on 6
January 2023.  Our reply is as follows:

The Transport Department does not have a digital map showing the road
network of the Territory with road type information displayed.  

In addition to the printable version of the Annual Traffic Census (ATC)
reports (can be downloaded at
[1]https://www.td.gov.hk/en/publications_an...),
the public can also conveniently access the road type information via the
ATC Interactive Website at [2]https://atc.td.gov.hk/map.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
Miss Yoanna LO
for Commissioner for Transport

Dear Transport Department,

Referring to Appendix G, H and J of Annual Traffic Census 2021
([3]https://www.td.gov.hk/filemanager/en/con...),
I would like to enquire if you have the digital map (FGDB and/or GML) of
the HK road network with road classifications ie. EX - Expressway, UT-
Urban Trunk Road, LD - Local Distributor etc.

I have searched extensively in Road Network Data
([4]https://data.gov.hk/en-data/dataset/hk-t...) but
do not contain such fields.

I have also read through all the data dictionaries of iB series Digital
Map ([5]https://open.hkmapservice.gov.hk/OpenDat...) and they
do not contain such information on road types under road classifications.

I would be grateful if you could provide the digital map (FGDB and/or GML)
of the HK road network with road classifications ie. EX - Expressway, UT-
Urban Trunk Road, LD - Local Distributor etc.

Yours faithfully,

N Cheung
