Timor-Leste Road Network from OpenStreetMap

Timor-Leste's road network exported from OpenStreetMap. The data includes all features tagged with `highway`, such as motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. It was compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Calculate travel routes based on the network of motorways, residential streets, and service roads.
• Analyze accessibility to services based on the hierarchy of roads and footways.
• Plan evacuation routes for natural disasters using the complete road and trail network.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple road types, from motorways to trails, as defined by the `highway` tag.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is 2026-05-15.
