Réunion's road network exported from OpenStreetMap, containing features tagged with the 'highway' key. The data includes motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Use Cases

Strengths

• Includes a variety of road types from motorways to trails, as specified by the 'highway' tag.
• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, JSON) for flexibility.

Limitations

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