Cabo Verde Road Network from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide the road network across Cabo Verde. The data includes all features tagged with `highway`, such as motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the network of motorways and residential streets.
• Analyze accessibility to services based on the inclusion of footways and trails.
• Perform routing analysis for transportation planning using the complete road hierarchy.

Strengths

• Includes a wide range of road types, from motorways to trails, as specified by the `highway` tag.
• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.

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.
