Municipal lives for roadways (G2010)

28 municipalities in Ontario state a life for roadways as a whole, in 28 distinct tables: 3–100 years, median 45. 108 rows come from capital asset policies (accounting lives, used for amortization) and 48 from asset management plans (planning lives, used to forecast replacement). They describe the system rather than this component, and none is a measured life.
