Use Cases

• Calculate travel routes based on the network of motorways and residential streets.
• Assess regional accessibility for services based on the road network.
• Plan evacuation routes using the mapped trails and service roads.

Strengths

• Includes a wide variety of road types, from motorways to trails.
• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
