• Analyze regional accessibility based on the presence of service roads and trails.
• Plan evacuation scenarios using the complete highway network.
• Map pedestrian infrastructure based on footway and trail data.

Strengths

• Includes all OpenStreetMap features tagged with `highway`, covering a wide range of road types.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Data is licensed under the ODbL-1.0, allowing for open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations
