Vietnam Road Network: OpenStreetMap Export with Surface and Lane Data

This geospatial dataset contains road features for Vietnam exported from OpenStreetMap by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) in March 2026. It includes all features with a non-null highway tag, providing geometry and physical attributes such as surface type and lane counts.

Use Cases

• Navigation modeling using the highway and oneway columns
• Road quality assessment using the surface and smoothness tags
• Infrastructure planning using the bridge and layer attributes

Strengths

• Bilingual naming in English (name:en) and Vietnamese (name:vi)
• Available in four GIS formats: SHP, GEOJSON, GEOPACKAGE, and KML
• Includes specific infrastructure tags like bridge and layer

Limitations

• Crowdsourced data subject to varying levels of local mapping activity between urban and rural areas
• Potential for inconsistent attribute tagging across different provinces
