Bahrain Road Network from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide a road network across Bahrain, including features tagged with `highway`. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the network of motorways, residential streets, and service roads.
• Conduct accessibility analysis for services using the mapped footways and trails.
• Perform routing and network analysis for transportation planning based on the highway-tagged features.

Strengths

• Includes a variety of road types such as motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Data is provided under the open ODbL-1.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially incomplete.
