OpenStreetMap Highways for Europe

This feature layer provides access to OpenStreetMap (OSM) highways data for Europe, which is updated periodically with the latest edits. This hosted feature layer view is referencing a hosted feature layer of OSM line (way) data in ArcGIS Online that is updated with minutely diffs from the OSM planet file. This feature layer view includes highway features defined as a query against the hosted feature layer (i.e. highway is not blank). Note: due to the size of data and volume of edits, the OSM layers for Europe currently reflect edits made within the last 30 days. In OSM, a highway describes any kind of motorway, road, street or path. These features are identified with a highway tag. There are hundreds of different tag values for highway used in the OSM database. In this feature layer, unique symbols are used for several of the most popular highway types, while lesser used types are grouped in an "other" category. Zoom in to large scales (e.g. Streets level or 1:20k scale) to see the highway features display. You can click on a feature to get the name of the highway (if available). The name of the highway will display by default at large scales (e.g. Street level of 1:5k scale). Labels can be turned off in your map if you prefer. Create New Layer If you would like to create a more focused version of this highway layer displaying just one or two highway types, you can do that easily! Just add the layer to a map, copy the layer in the content window, add a filter to the new layer (e.g. highway is path), rename the layer as appropriate, and save layer. You can also change the layer symbols or popup if you like. Esri may publish a few such layers (e.g. cycleway and pedestrian) that are ready to use, but not for every type of highway. Important Note: if you do create a new layer, it should be provided under the same Terms of Use and include the same Credits as this layer. You can copy and paste the Terms of Use and Credits info below in the new Item page as needed.
