Road Network Across Greece from OpenStreetMap Export

OpenStreetMap export of the road network across Greece, 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 likely being more thoroughly mapped than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Routing algorithm development based on the network of motorways and residential streets.
• Accessibility analysis for services based on the inclusion of footways and trails.
• Evacuation planning based on the comprehensive road network coverage.

Strengths

• Covers a wide range of road types, from motorways to trails, as indicated by the use of the OpenStreetMap `highway` tag.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Data is licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL-1.0), allowing for open use and modification.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially being incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
