A road network dataset for Croatia exported from OpenStreetMap. It includes all features tagged with `highway`, such as motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The data is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routing paths based on the network of motorways and residential streets.
• Analyze accessibility to services or infrastructure based on the road network.
• Model evacuation scenarios using the hierarchy of roads from motorways to trails.
• Map pedestrian accessibility using the included footway and trail data.

Strengths

• Covers a comprehensive range of road types, from motorways to footways and trails.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, 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.
