Dear Transport Department,

I am a research assistant at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I would like to make a request on the Road Network, from the year 2001 to 2020, if the data is available. The Road Network should be in the same format of that in data.gov, https://data.gov.hk/en-data/dataset/hk-t....

Yours faithfully,
Sha Yu Hin

Dear Mr Sha,

I refer to your email dated 24 September 2021.  Further to our interim

The dataset of Road Network from November 2010 to September 2021 has been
uploaded to the link below.  It is the archive of the datasets released
since November 2010.  From November 2010 to November 2019, the dataset was
released every 6 months.  From November 2019, it has been released every

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 -

If you have any enquiry, please contact Mr Paul LIU (Tel: 3842 6278 /
Email: [email address])
