Roads of Strategic Importance in Queensland
Roads of Strategic Importance in Queensland is a list of roads in Queensland, Australia, that are the subject of one or more road improvement projects under the Roads of Strategic Importance (ROSI) initiative of the Australian Government.[1] The purposes of this document are to:
- List the strategic corridors that are wholly or partly in Queensland, with at least one project in Queensland.
- List all ROSI projects in Queensland, and provide a link to each project description.
- List all roads and associated structures targeted by ROSI projects in Queensland.
- Record the copying of project details to associated Wikipedia articles.
- Indicate projects targeted for "early works" by the Queensland Government.[2]
Data columns[edit]
The list is in the form of a table with the following date columns:
- Corridor name
- Project short name
- Road name
- Copied
- Notes
Corridor name[edit]
Corridor names from the source document (reference 1) are listed alphabetically without any division between Northern and Southern Australia corridors.[1] A corridor name, "Non-corridor projects", is below the corridor names.
Project short name[edit]
Where a project short name differs from the project name in the source document it has been derived as follows:
- A road name, if included, has been removed.
- The remaining text has been rearranged.
For example "Flinders Highway (Townsville - Charters Towers) Wide Centre Line Treatment" is changed to "Wide centre line treatment Townsville-Charters Towers".
These project short names are listed alphabetically within each corridor, so there is no relation to the sequence of project names in the source document.[1]
Road name[edit]
Where a road name is in the project name or the project description it has been included in this column.[1] Where there are multiple names only one has been listed in this column. The alphabetic index for the table is based on the road name.
Copied[edit]
If used by participating editors this column indicates that the details of a project have been copied to a related Wikipedia article.
Notes[edit]
In addition to miscellaneous notes this column indicates those projects targeted for "early works" by the Queensland Government, as shown in reference 2.[2]
