Underpinning the national street infrastructure

The NSG is the definitive dataset of streets within England and Wales, for street works, highways maintenance and traffic management. In line with British Standard 7666(2006) the NSG is regularly updated by all 174 highway authorities with Additional Street Data (ASD), such as road centre lines, ownership details, height weight and width restrictions and direction of travel.

This site provides services for the upload and download of NSG and ASD data. To upload or download data log in using the button above, or if you need to register as a statutory user of the data, follow the register button in the navigation menu.
