Norway Road Network from OpenStreetMap with Surface and Traffic Attributes

OpenStreetMap exports for Norway include all features where the 'highway' tag is not null. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-03-03. Features may have attributes such as name, highway type, surface material, smoothness, width, lanes, and oneway status.

Use Cases

• Route planning and network analysis based on road type and oneway attributes.
• Infrastructure quality assessment based on surface and smoothness data.
• Multilingual mapping applications based on name attributes in English, Norwegian, and Swedish.

Strengths

• Includes a detailed set of 13 potential attributes for road features, such as surface, lanes, and bridge status.
• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML) for flexibility.

Limitations

• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
