Morocco Road Network with Multilingual Names and Surface Attributes

This geospatial dataset contains road network features for Morocco exported from OpenStreetMap by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) as of March 2026. It includes all features tagged with 'highway' and provides infrastructure attributes such as surface type, lane counts, and multilingual names.

Use Cases

• Assessing transport infrastructure quality using 'surface' and 'smoothness' tags
• Calculating logistics routes based on 'oneway' and 'lanes' restrictions
• Generating localized cartography using 'name:ar' and 'name:ber' attributes

Strengths

• Multilingual support with dedicated columns for Arabic and Berber scripts
• Available in six distinct formats including GeoPackage and Garmin IMG
• Includes specific infrastructure tags like 'bridge', 'layer', and 'oneway'

Limitations

• Crowdsourced data may contain inconsistent attribute tagging across different regions
• Positional accuracy is dependent on the source imagery used by OSM contributors
