A road Feature is a specific item or attribute of a road that can be tracked separately. Eg. bridge, culvert, cattleguard, short/long term, etc..
The Feature Ledger tab is used for the following on a specific road:
- capture access features
- capture feature problems
- view feature problems identified in Inspection Activities and,
- quickly identify the status of Maintenance Activities on features
Once created, features can be referenced during data capture on the Road Conditions list grid.

Special Data Entry Fields
From (km) & To (km)
The From (km) and To (km) will default to the From (km) and To (km) for the entire Road when 'road' feature types are selected but can be overwritten (update these values if the road feature is not for the entire road length). From (Km) and To (Km) must be entered manually for all other feature types.
The Feature From (km) and To (km) must be within the Road ID From (km) and To (km). Where the feature is a point, for example, a culvert or cattleguard, the From (km) and To (km) will likely be the same value.
Distance (km)
The Distance (km) field is calculated: To (km) - From (km) and is read only.
Where the feature is a point, (Eg. culvert or cattleguard), the Distance (km) will likely be zero.
