New Caledonia Road Network from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide a free, volunteer-built road network for New Caledonia, including motorways, residential streets, and trails. Completeness varies, with urban areas likely well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes based on the network of motorways, residential streets, and service roads.
• Assess regional accessibility for services or populations using the comprehensive highway tagging.
• Plan evacuation routes for disaster response leveraging the mapped footways and trails.

Strengths

• Includes all features tagged with the OSM `highway` key, covering a wide range of road types.
• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, JSON) for flexibility.
• Last updated on 2026-05-14, suggesting recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete according to the description.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
