INSPIRE-WFS OKSTRA: Number of Lanes for Road Sections in Germany

INSPIRE-compliant data from the German Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy details the number of lanes for road sections. The service implements the OKSTRA data model for the Transport Networks topic, providing standardized geospatial features. It was last updated on March 10, 2025.

Use Cases

• Modeling road capacity based on the number of lanes per section.
• Integrating standardized road network data into pan-European spatial data infrastructures.
• Analyzing traffic flow potential for specific road segments.

Strengths

• Data conforms to the INSPIRE directive and the OKSTRA data model, ensuring standardization.
• Published by the Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie, a national mapping agency.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update was 2025-03-10 00:00:00.
