Road Network for Israel from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide a road network across Israel, including features tagged with `highway`. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically being better mapped than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the network of motorways, residential streets, and service roads.
• Analyze accessibility to services based on the presence of footways and trails.
• Perform routing analysis for vehicles and pedestrians using the comprehensive highway network.

Strengths

• Includes a wide range of road types, from motorways to footways and trails.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; 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.
