Road Network of Guinea from OpenStreetMap, Including Trails and Footways

Guinea's road network exported from OpenStreetMap. It includes all features tagged with `highway`, such as motorways, residential streets, service roads, 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 comprehensive highway network.
• Analyze accessibility to services based on road types from motorways to trails.
• Calculate travel times for logistics using the mapped road network.
• Assess infrastructure coverage for development projects using the geospatial road data.

Strengths

• Includes a wide variety of road types, from motorways to trails, as explicitly listed in the description.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

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.
• Cross-checking critical decisions with local field knowledge is recommended by the source.
