SLKs or Straight Line Kilometers are a location reference system used by Main Roads Western Australia to define the location of features or events along a road. This layer shows SLK points (every 100m) along the left and single carriageways for all State and Local Roads, Main Roads controlled paths contained within the road centreline of Main Roads road asset database. The purpose of this layer is to identify and label the measure of SLK along a particular route and is provided for information only. The SLK points are based on geometric measure and include points of equation. This means that you may notice “jumps” in the SLK between two points that are not equal to 100m. This is as a result of network changes that have been incorporated into the spatial road centr eline.A point of equation is a business term used to describe a point on the road network, which has two SLK references, one for the section leading up to it, and one for the section leaving from it. A Point of Equation is either: •A gap, which occurs when the new deviation/realignment is built shorter than the existing road. An SLK range is missing. •An overlap, which occurs when the new deviation/realignment is built longer than the existing road. An SLK range is duplicatedNote that you are accessing this data pursuant to a Creative Commons (Attribution) Licence, which has a disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability.
