Bolivia Road Network from OpenStreetMap, Including Trails and Footways

OpenStreetMap exports provide a road network across Bolivia, including everything tagged with `highway`. The data includes motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes for logistics based on the network of motorways and residential streets.
• Assess accessibility to services and infrastructure using the hierarchy of roads, trails, and footways.
• Plan evacuation routes and disaster response using the complete road and trail network.
• Analyze urban versus rural road density based on the mapped highway features.

Strengths

• Includes a wide variety of road types, from motorways to footways and trails.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, while remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
