Spain Road Network from OpenStreetMap, Including Attributes for Highway Type and Surface

OpenStreetMap features for Spain where the 'highway' tag is not null, representing the road network. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-05. Attributes likely include road names, highway classification, surface type, smoothness, width, lanes, and one-way status.

Use Cases

• Mapping road networks for navigation applications based on highway classification and oneway attributes.
• Analyzing road surface quality and material for infrastructure planning based on surface and smoothness attributes.
• Modeling traffic capacity and road geometry for transportation studies based on lanes and width attributes.
• Identifying bridges and layered road structures for 3D mapping based on bridge and layer attributes.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a large collaborative mapping project.
• Includes multiple geometric file formats (GEOPACKAGE, GEOJSON, KML, SHP) for interoperability.
• Attributes are defined by the OpenStreetMap tagging schema, providing structured semantic information.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is 2026-05-05 15:04:11.043831.
