Czechia Road Network from OpenStreetMap for Routing and Analysis

OpenStreetMap exports provide the road network across Czechia, including features tagged with `highway` such as motorways, residential streets, footways, and trails. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export on HDX, last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes based on the network of motorways and streets.
• Analyze accessibility to services based on the inclusion of footways and trails.
• Plan evacuation scenarios using the complete road network hierarchy.
• Map transportation infrastructure for regional planning based on OSM highway tags.

Strengths

• Includes all OpenStreetMap features tagged with `highway`, providing a detailed road hierarchy.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Data is licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL-1.0), allowing for sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incompletely mapped according to the description.
