Philippines Road Network from OpenStreetMap, Exported March 2026

OpenStreetMap features for all roads in the Philippines, defined by the presence of a 'highway' tag. The dataset is an export from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on March 3, 2026. Features may include attributes for road names, classification, surface type, lanes, and bridge status.

Use Cases

• Route planning and network analysis based on road connectivity and oneway attributes.
• Assessing road infrastructure quality based on surface and smoothness attributes.
• Mapping and localization projects using multilingual road names (English and Filipino).
• Transportation modeling based on road width and lane count data.

Strengths

• Includes a defined set of 12 potential attributes per feature, such as name, highway type, and surface.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative, open-source mapping project.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML).

Limitations

• Row count and total geographic extent are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from OpenStreetMap wiki links.
• Data may reflect geographic or contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap's volunteer-driven collection.
