Road Network for Luxembourg Extracted from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide a road network for Luxembourg, including motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes based on the hierarchical road network.
• Analyze pedestrian and vehicle accessibility based on the inclusion of footways, trails, and motorways.
• Plan for emergency evacuations using the complete road network geometry.

Strengths

• Includes all OpenStreetMap features tagged with the `highway` key, ensuring a wide range of road types.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially incomplete, as noted in the description.
