You can help!

There are many things you can do to help the map of Pakistan. Make sure to refer to the tagging guidelines below as well.

  • Many roads missing on the outskirts of Karachi, in rural areas, and in Hyderabad.
  • Many roads are missing in Karachi, Sukkur, Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan, Bahawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan, Lahore, Sargodha, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Peshawar, Quetta.
  • Hyderabad and Kohat are in better shape but still missing some roads.

Tagging Features

Highway

Roads should be tagged in accordance with their official classification or their significance. We can further refine this tagging scheme with active participation from OSM Pakistan users.

Key Value Element Comment Example
highway motorway  way This tag should be applied to the carriageways of all designated motorways (M1-M10). Do not tag highways as motorways which have not be designated as such by NHA, Pakistan. Motorway.png
highway motorway_link way The link roads (sliproads / ramps) leading to and from a motorway (or between two motorways). Only use this on slip roads to which motorway regulations apply (the "last escape" slip road before a road becomes motorway is not a motorway_link and should be tagged as a trunk_link or primary_link as appropriate to the non-motorway road it diverges from) Rendering-highway motorway link.png
highway trunk  way All National Highways built, maintained and designated as National Highways by NHA, Pakistan. Trunk.png
highway trunk_link way The link roads (sliproads / ramps) leading to and from a National Highway. Trunk link.png
highway primary  way A 6 or more lanes dual carriageway. Important or major highways in a city can also be tagged as primary. Primary.png
highway primary_link way The link roads (sliproads / ramps).  
highway secondary  way Regional highways mostly maintained by the Provincial Governments connecting cities, towns or villages. Rendering-highway secondary.png
highway tertiary  way 4 lanes dual carriageway roads in a city or high importance roads. Rendering-highway tertiary.png
highway unclassified  way No administrative classification. Unclassified roads typically form the lowest form of the interconnecting grid network.
Note: This is not a marker for roads where we still need to choose a highway tag.		 Rendering-highway unclassified.png
highway residential way Roads accessing or around residential areas and which are not primary, secondary or tertiary. Residential.jpg
highway track way unmaintained and non-asphalt tracks Rendering-highway track.png
highway service way A roadway providing connections to off-road destinations (such as car parks) or servicing private sites (such as industrial estates). Tagging a road as "service" indicates that the roadway should not be considered a through route nor expected to be of high quality. Pending a recognised tag for roads under construction, "service" may also be an appropriate tag for this purpose. Rendering-highway service.png

Motorways

Tag as "motorway", typically rendered in blue.

Administrative units of Pakistan

The administrative units of Pakistan consist of four provinces (Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Sindh), two autonomous territories (Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan) and one federal territory (Islamabad Capital Territory). Each province and territory is subdivided into divisions, which are further subdivided into districts, which are further subdivided into tehsils, or taluka, which are further subdivided into union councils.

Infrastructure Mapping

You can help in completing our infrastructure for Power Lines (major cross-city high voltage towers for now) by looking at Osmose to find missing attributes or incomplete dataset.

You can also use Overpass Turbo to visualize all the power lines to see existing power lines.

Water Body Mapping

Pakistan is a severely water-scarce country and suffers from frequent droughts, flooding and more. Mapping existing rivers, streams and canals will allow better research into efficient water management.
