Cuba Road Network from OpenStreetMap for Routing and Analysis

OpenStreetMap export contains the road network across Cuba, including motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes for logistics based on the highway network.
• Analyze regional accessibility based on road type and connectivity.
• Plan evacuation routes for disaster response based on the mapped road infrastructure.
• Assess pedestrian and vehicle network completeness for urban planning.

Strengths

• Covers all OpenStreetMap features tagged with the 'highway' key.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Data is licensed under the ODbL-1.0, allowing for sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies, with remote areas likely less complete than urban centers.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
