Spatial data segments Colombia's primary and secondary national road network, with each segment not exceeding 10 kilometers in length. The dataset includes attributes like concession status, road priority, and urban passage indicators. It was published by datos.gov.co and last updated in December 2025.
Use Cases
- Analyze road segment priority (Prioridad) and urban passage (PasoUrbano) for infrastructure investment planning.
- Map road corridors (CORREDOR) and administrative entities (ENTIDAD) for regional transportation network studies.
- Calculate total network length using the Shape_Leng attribute aggregated across all segments.
- Identify road segments managed by specific actors (ActorVial) or under concession (CONCESION) for maintenance analysis.
Strengths
- Contains 19 distinct attributes describing road segments, including spatial coordinates and administrative codes.
- Segments are explicitly partitioned to not exceed 10 kilometers in length, enabling granular analysis.
Limitations
- The total number of rows, representing road segments, is unknown, making it difficult to assess dataset scale.
- Sample data is unavailable, preventing verification of data quality and completeness.
