Road Year Constructed Modifier Character (variable length string) 15 Optional
A mandatory modifier to the Road Year Constructed attribute.
Meanings of permissible values:
'Actual' means the year is known;
Approximate' means the year is not known for sure but somewhere about the year entered ;
'Before' means that the actual year is not known but it was sometime before the year entered;
'After' means that the actual year is not known but it was sometime after the year entered;
'Range' means that the entry represents a range of years (e.g. 1999-2004)
The Road Year Constructed Modifier required if 'Road Year Constructed' populated.
Permissible Values :
Actual

Before

Range
Road Number Of Lanes Integer (short) 2 Mandatory
The number of lanes on the road segment. A lane is defined as the distance wide enough to
accommodate one motorized vehicle.
Where there are no indications representing the lanes on the road surface, the number of lanes
can never be higher than two (2). If the width of the roadbed is five (5) metres or more, the
road is considered to be wide enough to allow for two vehicles traveling in opposite directions
to pass and it is therefore indicated as a two-lane road.
If the roadbed is overgrown or deteriorated to such a degree that a single vehicle can not be
accommodated then the number of lanes can be indicated as zero (0).
Old FMP Road Class Character (variable length string) 10 Optional
The FMP road class in use before plans due in 2007. The classes are Primary, Secondary, and
Tertiary and the class definitions were based on how long a time period the road was planned
to exist.
If Road Responsibility is coded 'MNR' or 'SFL' then either Old FMP Road Class or FMP Road Class
must be populated. Since the FMP Road Class value must come from a forest management
plan, only the Old FMP Road Class value should be changed or populated after the fact.
Permissible Values:
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
