Road Network of Peru with Attributes from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports contain all road features tagged with 'highway' across Peru. The dataset likely includes attributes such as name, surface type, width, lanes, and one-way status. It is maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Calculate road network density based on the presence of 'highway' tags.
• Analyze road surface types for infrastructure planning based on the 'surface' attribute.
• Model traffic flow capacity based on the 'lanes' and 'oneway' attributes.
• Identify multilingual road naming conventions based on the 'name:es', 'name:qu', 'name:ay', and 'name:cni' fields.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used collaborative mapping project.
• Attributes include multilingual name fields ('name:es', 'name:qu', 'name:ay', 'name:cni'), supporting local language analysis.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, GARMIN IMG, SHP, GEOJSON) for interoperability.

Limitations

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