Street names and geometries

Streets around the Pristina hackerspace, with KCA roads behind the OSM data. Note the missing names in the middle and missing roads on the right.

The Kosovo community has recently obtained street names and geometries from the Kosovo Cadastral Agency . KCA and the local NGO FLOSSK have signed a memorandum of understanding to allow this data to be used in OpenStreetMap.

Join the ongoing work to import this data.

Pristina GPX traces from Kaart Ground Survey 2019

Pristina (January, 2019)

• Primary focus was on adding names to streets where there was no available data in OSM.
• Most streets had a label of one format or another. There were either street signs on corners, or street names were gathered using address plaques on homes.
• The ground survey of Pristina was conducted by Kaart Team members Kiana and Leanne.
