Road Network of Yemen from OpenStreetMap

Yemen's road network includes motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails tagged with the OpenStreetMap `highway` key. The data is sourced from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project and exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). It was last updated on 2026-06-24.

Use Cases

• Route planning and navigation based on the detailed highway classification.
• Accessibility analysis for humanitarian aid delivery based on the mapped road network.
• Evacuation planning for disaster response based on the coverage of motorways and residential streets.
• Infrastructure gap analysis based on the described variance in coverage between urban and remote areas.

Strengths

• Covers multiple road types including motorways, residential streets, service roads, footways, and trails.
• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, JSON, and HTML.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Managed by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), a specialized organization.

Limitations

• Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, leading to sparse data in remote areas.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and total size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
