Iraq Road Network (main roads)

This dataset is an extraction of roads from OpenStreetMap data made by WFP following UNSDI-T standards. The data is updated in near-real time from OSM servers and include all latest updates. NOTE: this dataset doesn't include streets and pathways that have been published on a separate dataset (streets and pathways).

More documentation on the whole process for extracting OpenStreetMap roads can be found here: http://geonode.wfp.org/documents/6823/download
