Singapore Road Network from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide a road network for Singapore, including motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The data is compiled by volunteer mappers and maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes based on the hierarchical road network.
• Assess neighborhood accessibility based on the presence of footways and trails.
• Plan emergency evacuations using the complete motorway and street network.

Strengths

• Includes a wide range of road types, from motorways to trails, as defined by the OSM 'highway' tag.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, but remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
