Wallis and Futuna Road Network from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap's road network for Wallis and Futuna includes features tagged with `highway`, such as motorways, residential streets, and trails. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exports this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies, with urban areas likely being more detailed than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Calculate optimal routes based on the network of motorways, residential streets, and service roads.
• Assess regional accessibility for services or disaster response using the complete road network.
• Plan evacuation routes by analyzing the hierarchy of roads, footways, and trails.
• Update or augment local GIS basemaps with the volunteered geographic information from OSM.

Strengths

• Includes a wide range of road types, from motorways to footways and trails, as specified by the `highway` tag.
• Data is provided in multiple common geospatial formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and JSON.
• Last updated on 2026-05-15, indicating relatively recent data.

Limitations

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