Algeria Road Network from OpenStreetMap, 2026 Export

OpenStreetMap data for Algeria containing all features tagged as highways. The dataset includes attributes such as name, highway type, surface, smoothness, width, lanes, and oneway status. It was exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and last updated on 2026-05-05.

Use Cases

• Calculate road network density and connectivity based on highway tags.
• Assess road surface quality and material for infrastructure planning based on surface and smoothness attributes.
• Model traffic flow and capacity using lane count and oneway road information.
• Generate multi-lingual maps and navigation systems using name, name:en, name:ar, and name:ber attributes.

Strengths

• Includes multiple geometric file formats: KML, GEOJSON, SHP, and GEOPACKAGE.
• Attributes cover key road characteristics like surface type, lane count, and bridge status.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
