Trinidad and Tobago Road Network from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide a road network across Trinidad and Tobago, including features tagged with `highway` such as motorways, residential streets, and footways. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export on HDX, last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes based on the network of motorways, residential streets, and service roads.
• Analyze pedestrian and vehicle accessibility based on the inclusion of footways and trails.
• Plan for natural disaster evacuations using the geospatial road network data.

Strengths

• Includes a wide range of road types, from motorways to footways, as defined by the OpenStreetMap `highway` tag.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Last updated on 2026-05-15, suggesting recent data maintenance.

Limitations

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