Hong Kong Road Network Features from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap export for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region containing all features tagged as highways. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-03-03. Features may include attributes such as name, highway type, surface, smoothness, width, lanes, and oneway status.

Use Cases

• Map road network connectivity based on highway tags and oneway attributes.
• Analyze road surface quality and material based on surface and smoothness attributes.
• Model traffic flow capacity based on lane count and road width data.
• Generate bilingual maps or navigation systems using name, name:en, and name:zh fields.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multiple bilingual name attributes (name, name:en, name:zh).
• Available in several common geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, GEOJSON, SHP, KML).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
