Description

A structure that may be swung, drawn or lowered to block an entrance or passageway

Topo50 description

A selection of gates on named (ie main), connecting roads are held in the data and shown on printed maps. They are not placed on tracks. Note that in our experience 99% of the time where a named road ends and a vehicle track continues there will likely be a gate.

Object attributes

Attribute	LSLIFF code Shapefile field Data type	Attribute description	Attribute values*
gate_restrictions	1030 restrictns string		locked {empty}
name	1001 name string	The name of the feature, where known. Text data from July 2012 will be in UTF-8 format. If your system is not UTF-8 compliant, you will need to use the name_ascii attribute, which has had any macronated vowels removed. UTF-8 stands for Unicode Transformation Format-8. It is an octet (8-bit) lossless encoding of Unicode characters. UTF-8 encodes each Unicode character as a variable number of 1 to 4 octets, where the number of octets depends on the integer value assigned to the Unicode character. It is an efficient encoding of Unicode documents that use mostly US-ASCII characters because it represents each character in the range U+0000 through U+007F as a single octet. UTF-8 is the default encoding for XML.	{empty}
name_macronated	1140 macronated boolean	Indicates whether the entry in the name_ascii field contains a macronated vowel. Where the value is "Y" go to http://www.linz.govt.nz/regulatory/place-names/find-place-name/find-m%C4%81ori-place-names-dual-names-and-alternative-names for a list of places or feature names within New Zealand that are gazetted and include macrons	Y N
name_ascii	9000 name_ascii string	Text data from July 2012 will be in UTF-8 format. If your system is not UTF-8 compliant, you will need to use this attribute, which has had any macronated vowels removed.
UFID	1000 t50_fid integer	A unique identifier for use on Topo50 data in the LINZ Data Service. This is not a universal ID. The intention is to manage these ID’s as persistent, however this is not guaranteed and there will be instances where what appears to be a minor change to a feature may result in a new ID being assigned.	"3254886"
orientation	1115 orientatn string	The orientation or angle of the feature as it is shown on the map. This is measured in radians starting from due east, in a counter- clockwise direction for positive numbers or clockwise for negative numbers.	"-2.9537"
