Kosovo Road Network from OpenStreetMap with Surface and Traffic Attributes

Kosovo Roads is a geospatial dataset from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) containing all OpenStreetMap features tagged as highways within Kosovo. The dataset includes attributes such as road name, type, surface material, smoothness, width, and lane count. It was last updated on 2026 03 03 and is available in multiple geospatial formats.

Use Cases

• Map road network connectivity and density based on highway type and location.
• Analyze road surface quality and material distribution based on surface and smoothness attributes.
• Model traffic capacity and routing based on lane count and oneway designations.
• Identify multilingual road naming conventions based on name, name:en, name:sq, and name:sr fields.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes 13 specific attributes per feature, such as surface, lanes, and bridge status.
• Available in four geospatial formats: GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, and KML.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is 2026 03 03 10:30:48.883705.
