Thanks in advance for your help. Please comment here in this thread.
On behalf of DfT:
Over the development of the Digital Traffic Regulation Orders concepts, over several years, the discussion concerning use of a set of standard terms and related definitions would be highly beneficial to the development of more common and coherent language for TROs and therefore more consistency in the interpretation of D-TRO data as it is consumed as open data.
This developmental spreadsheet is an initial proposal to provide a firm definition for each item that exists in the lists within the D-TRO data model. This is particularly relevant for those lists items that address semantic content that is core to TROs such as vehicle type and regulation type, etc.
There is a risk, if no standardised definition is available, different Traffic Regulation Authorities will interpret the data model concepts locally, and differently. This could result in variation between local instances of the interpretation of the data conforming to the data model.
DfT welcomes comment on these terms and definitions.
Feel free to suggest new entries on the lists, candidate definitions, removal of entries from lists etc.
