A road feature is a link set which represents a collection of road link features that share the same name (for example, Bilston Road) or classification number (for example, A41), used primarily by motorised vehicles. A road will reference the complete collection of road link features irrespective of which authority boundary it falls within. The feature type will include Motorways, A Roads, B Roads, and Named Thoroughfares (roads).
The link set may not be contiguous across junctions or where a classified road consists of separate sections, which may be separated by some considerable distance. In addition, the same road link feature may be referenced by multiple road features.
