Road Network for the Dominican Republic from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide a road network across the Dominican Republic. The data includes features tagged with `highway`, such as motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. It was last updated on 2026-05-15 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes based on the network of motorways and residential streets.
• Analyze accessibility to services based on the inclusion of footways and trails.
• Plan for disaster response and evacuation using the complete road network.

Strengths

• Includes a wide variety of road types, from motorways to trails, as specified by the `highway` tag.
• Data is provided in multiple common geospatial formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped while remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
