Cyprus Road Network from OpenStreetMap for Routing and Analysis

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

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes based on the comprehensive road network.
• Analyze accessibility to services based on road types and connectivity.
• Plan evacuation routes using the mapped network of streets and trails.
• Assess transportation infrastructure coverage across urban and remote areas.

Strengths

• Includes a wide variety of road types, from motorways to footways and trails.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

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