OpenStreetMap exports provide a road network across Panama. The data includes all features tagged with `highway`, such as motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. 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.
• Analyze pedestrian accessibility based on the inclusion of footways and trails.
• Model evacuation scenarios using the complete road network.
• Assess transportation infrastructure coverage in urban versus remote areas.

Strengths

• Includes a wide variety of road types, from motorways to trails, as tagged in OpenStreetMap.
• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Last updated on 2026-05-14, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
