Road Network of Ukraine from OpenStreetMap for Routing and Analysis

A geospatial dataset of the road network across Ukraine, tagged with highway types such as motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails. The data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free collaborative world map, and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). It was last updated on 2026-06-24.

Use Cases

• Route planning and optimization based on the tagged highway network.
• Accessibility analysis for services and infrastructure using the detailed road types.
• Evacuation and humanitarian logistics planning based on the mapped road connectivity.
• Mapping completeness assessment by comparing urban and remote area coverage.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Derived from OpenStreetMap, a widely used and collaboratively maintained global map source.
• Includes a variety of road types, from motorways to trails, as indicated by the highway=* tagging scheme.

Limitations

• Coverage is uneven, with urban areas likely well-represented and remote areas potentially sparse, reflecting volunteer mapper activity.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
