Aruba Road Network from OpenStreetMap, Including Motorways and Footways

OpenStreetMap exports provide a free, volunteer-built road network for Aruba. Completeness varies, with urban areas likely well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on 2026-05-12.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes based on the network of motorways, residential streets, and service roads.
• Assess regional accessibility for emergency services using the mapped road hierarchy.
• Plan evacuation scenarios by analyzing the connectivity of footways and trails.

Strengths

• Includes all OpenStreetMap features tagged with the 'highway' key, covering a range from motorways to trails.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete and require cross-checking with local knowledge.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
