All Ireland - All roads

Inspired by www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/esq9ay/all_roads_in_sco..., here's all the roads on the island of Ireland

 

• OpenStreetMap data downloaded as PBF files from download.openstreetmap.fr/extracts/europe/

○ Ireland

○ Northern Ireland

• OGR2OGR used to convert and combine the two PBF files into one SQLite database

• The "Lines" table from the resulting SQLite database was imported to QGIS

• The data were filtered so that only lines where "highway" is NOT NULL were included

• Separate layers were created for the following "highway" types and styled with different thicknesses of lines (from thicker at Motorways to thinner at Tracks)

○ Motorways

○ Trunk and primary roads

○ Secondary roads

○ Tertiary roads

○ Tracks

• From the remaining layer the following "highway" types were excluded

○ abandoned

○ demolished

○ disused

○ footway

○ cycleway

○ gallop

○ proposed

○ planned

○ bus_stop

○ bridleway

○ path

○ razed

○ raceway

○ rest_area
