Myanmar Road Network with Main, Secondary, and Tertiary Roads, 2022

Myanmar Information Management Unit (MIMU) provides a 2022 geospatial dataset of the country's road network. The data categorizes roads into main, secondary, and tertiary types based on their connectivity between population centers like the capital, state/region capitals, main towns, and villages. It is available in GEOJSON and SHP formats and was last updated on March 12, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling national and regional connectivity based on road hierarchy linking capitals and towns.
• Planning logistics and transportation routes based on the network connecting population centers.
• Analyzing infrastructure development and access based on road classifications.
• Creating base maps for regional studies using the geospatial road data.

Strengths

• Data is provided by the authoritative Myanmar Information Management Unit (MIMU).
• Roads are categorized into a three-tier hierarchy (main, secondary, tertiary) based on connectivity logic.
• Available in standard geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP) for direct GIS use.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
