The Network Model digitally represents England’s Strategic Road Network. The model contains critical information about our road’s location, names, lanes and widths.The Network Model was derived from Ordnance Survey (OS) Highways data and enriched with internal datasets. It reflects National Highways roads that are open for traffic and have been validated against our Operational Highway Boundary (RedLine).To ensure the model remains accurate, we have implemented processes to track changes across the network. However, if you have noticed any inaccuracies in the data, please report it here. This form is to be used to report data issues only.In this initial release, speed limit and smart motorway information has been removed pending data validation.To download a file geodatabase containing all layers of the network model and their relationships please use this link.For more information about the Network Model please visit our landing page and technical hub.For maintenance issues on the network please report here. For non-emergency incidents please contact our Customer Contact Centre on 0300 123 5000.The data is published under an Open Government Licence.

OS Open Roads is a high-level view of the road network, from motorways to country lanes in Great Britain. The links represent an approximate central alignment of the road carriageway and include roads classified by the National or Local Highway authority (for example, A Roads) and unclassified roads which make up Great Britain’s road network. Attributes identify the roads that make up the Primary Route Network (PRN) and the Strategic Route Network (SRN). The SRN is made up of nationally significant roads used for the distribution of goods and services, and a network for the travelling public. They are known as Trunk Roads. Whilst the PRN is made up of roads used for transport on a regional or county level and include all roads which make up the SRN.

A Unique Street Reference Number (USRN) is a unique and persistent identifier for every street, road, track, path, cycle track or cycle way in Great Britain.

Our Open USRN product contains USRNs across GB. They are the authoritative identifier assigned to and uniquely identifying streets and are essential for managing Great Britain's Highways.

This dataset is refreshed on a weekly basis from the datasets the team works on daily.Last update date: 17 March 2025.National Highways Operational Highway Boundary (RedLine) maps out the land belonging to the highway for the whole Strategic Road Network (SRN). It comprises two layers; one being the an outline and another showing the registration status / category of land of land that makes up the boundary. Due to the process involved in creating junctions with local highway authority (LHA) roads, land in this dataset may represent LHA highway (owned by National Highways but the responsibility of the LHA to maintain). Surplus land or land held for future projects does not form part of this dataset.The highway boundary is derived from:Ordnance Survey Mastermap Topography,HM Land Registry National Polygon Service (National Highway titles only), andplots researched and digitised during the course of the RedLine Boundary Project.The boundary is split into categories describing the decisions made for particular plots of land. These categories are as follows:Auto-RedLine category is for plots created from an automated process using Ordnance Survey MasterMap Topography as a base. Land is not registered under National Highways' name. For example, but not limited to, unregistered ‘ancient’ highway vested in Highways England, or bridge carrying highways over a rail line.NH Title within RedLine category is for plots created from Land Registry Cadastral parcels whose proprietor is National Highways or a predecessor. Land in this category is within the highway boundary (audited) or meets a certain threshold by the algorithm.NH Title outside RedLine category is for plots created in the same way as above but these areas are thought to be outside the highway boundary. Where the Confidence is Low, land in this category is yet to be audited. Where the Confidence is High, land in this category has been reviewed and audited as outside our operational boundary.National Highways (Technician) Data category is for plots created by National Highways, digitised land parcels relating to highway land that is not registered, not yet registered or un-registerable.Road in Tunnel category, created using tunnel outlines from Ordnance Survey MasterMap Topography data. These represent tunnels on Highways England’s network. Land is not registered under National Highways' name, but land above the tunnel may be in National Highways’ title. Please refer to the definitive land ownership records held at HM Land Registry.The process attribute details how the decision was made for the particular plot of land. These are as follows:Automated category denotes data produced by an automated process. These areas are yet to be audited by the company.Audited category denotes data that has been audited by the company.Technician Data (Awaiting Audit) category denotes data that was created by National Highways but is yet to be audited and confirmed as final.The confidence attribute details how confident you can be in the decision. This attribute is derived from both the decisions made during the building of the underlying automated dataset as well as whether the section has been researched and/or audited by National Highways staff. These are as follows:High category denotes land that has a high probability of being within the RedLine boundary. These areas typically are audited or are features that are close to or on the highway.Moderate category denotes land that is likely to be within the highway boundary but is subject to change once the area has been audited.Low category denotes land that is less likely to be within the highway boundary. These plots typically represent Highways England registered land that the automated process has marked as outside the highway boundary.Please note that this dataset is indicative only.

SUMMARYThe area (in hectares) of publicly accessible blue- and green-space per 1000 population within each Middle Layer Super Output Area (MSOA).This dataset was produced to identify how much green/blue space (areas with greenery and/or inland water) people have to opportunity to experience within each MSOA. This includes land that the public can directly access and land they are able to walk/cycle/etc. immediately adjacent to.The area of accessible green/blue space, as a percentage of the total area of the MSOA, is also given.ANALYSIS METHODOLOGYThe following were identified as ‘accessible’ blue and green spaces:A) CRoW Open Access LandB) Doorstep GreensC) Open Greenspace (features described as a ‘play space’, ‘playing field’ or ‘public park or garden’)D) Local Nature ReservesE) Millennium GreensF) National Nature ReservesG) ‘Green’ and ‘blue’ land types – inland water, tidal water, woodland, foreshore, countryside/fields – and Open Greenspace types not identified in Point C that are immediately adjacent to*:G1) Coastal Path RoutesG2) National Cycle Network (traffic-free routes only)G3) National Forest Estate recreation routesG4) National TrailsG5) Path networks within built up areas (OS MasterMap Highways Network Paths)G6) Public Rights of Way*Features G1-6 were buffered by 20 m. All land described in Point G that fell within those 20 m buffers was extracted. Of those areas, any land that was >3m away from features G1-6 in its entirety was assumed to have non-green/blue features between the public path/route/trail and it, and was therefore removed.Population statistics for each MSOA were combined with the statistics re. the area of accessible green/blue space, to calculate the area of accessible green-blue space per 1000 population.LIMITATIONS1. Access to beaches and the sea could not be factored into the analysis, and should be considered when interpreting the results for MSOAs on the coastline.2. This dataset highlights were there are opportunities for the public to experience green/blue space. It does not (and could not) determine the level of accessibility for users with differing levels of mobility.3. Public Right of Way (PRoW) data was not available for the whole of England. While some gaps in the data will have been partially filled in by the OS MasterMap Highways Network Paths dataset, due to overlap between the two, some gaps will still remain. As such, this dataset should be viewed in combination with the ‘Area of accessible green and blue space per 1000 population (England): Missing data’ dataset in ArcGIS Online or, if using the data in desktop GIS, the ‘NoProwData’ field should be consulted. The area of accessible green/blue space in those areas could be slightly under represented in this dataset.
