Bulgaria Road Network from OpenStreetMap for Routing and Analysis

OpenStreetMap exports provide a road network across Bulgaria, including motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) from volunteer contributions and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies, with urban areas likely being well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the network of motorways and residential streets.
• Analyze transportation accessibility based on the inclusion of footways and trails.
• Perform routing analysis for vehicles using the detailed highway classification.

Strengths

• Includes all OpenStreetMap features tagged with `highway`, providing a broad classification of road types.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete according to the description.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
