Saint Lucia Road Network from OpenStreetMap, Including Trails and Footways

OpenStreetMap's collaborative road network for Saint Lucia includes motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The data is exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and is available in multiple geospatial formats. Completeness likely varies, with urban areas being better mapped than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes for emergency services based on the full highway-tagged network.
• Assess pedestrian and vehicle accessibility to key locations using footway and road data.
• Model flood or landslide evacuation scenarios using the complete road and trail network.
• Analyze transportation infrastructure density and connectivity across urban and rural areas.

Strengths

• Covers all OpenStreetMap features tagged with 'highway', from motorways to trails.
• Available in multiple interoperable geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Data is licensed under the open ODbL-1.0 license, allowing for flexible use and sharing.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete compared to urban centers.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
