The dataset includes all features tagged with `highway`, such as motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. It is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and is useful for routing, accessibility analysis, and evacuation planning.

Use Cases

• Calculate travel times and optimal routes based on the comprehensive road network.
• Assess regional accessibility for emergency services based on road types and connectivity.
• Plan evacuation routes for natural disasters using the network of motorways and residential streets.
• Analyze pedestrian and vehicle infrastructure coverage based on footway and highway tags.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Dataset is openly licensed under ODbL-1.0.

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.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
