Fiji Road Network from OpenStreetMap for Routing and Analysis

A road network dataset for Fiji, exported from OpenStreetMap. It includes all features tagged with the `highway` key, such as motorways, residential streets, footways, and trails. The data is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the mapped road network.
• Analyze accessibility to services based on the types of roads available.
• Perform network analysis for transportation planning using the hierarchical road types.
• Create base maps for navigation applications using the volunteered geographic information.

Strengths

• Covers a comprehensive range of road types, from motorways to footways, as defined by the OSM `highway` tag.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• 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.
• Freshness should be verified for time-sensitive applications, though the last update was 2026-05-15.
