OSM Highway Density Statistics

When the Routino database has been generated from the OSM data it contains a lot of information about the highways in the OSM data that can be examined.

It is important to note however that the statistics generated from the Routino database refer only to routable highways (i.e. public access) and also merge some types of highway together as described in the Routino tagging rules.

The map statistics are all presented here in the same format. For each one a map is drawn that shows the highway density (measured in metres of highway per square kilometre) within each zoom 13 map tile by colour coding. The full size images (and the quarter size images that link to them below) are created automatically each week from the Routino routing database.

Highway Types

There are 12 types of highway that are handled by Routino and one map has been generated for each of them.

Highway Density for Different Highway Types
Highway = Motorway	Highway = Trunk	Highway = Primary	Highway = Secondary
Highway = Tertiary	Highway = Unclassified	Highway = Residential	Highway = Service
Highway = Track	Highway = Cycleway	Highway = Path	Highway = Steps
