Highways in Greece

See § How to map

Greece introduced the current system of national roads on 9 July 1963.[1] The latest state of research on OpenStreetMap indicates that the National Highway system received a major update in the mid-1990s, when they were divided into three subcategories (primary, secondary or tertiary network).[2]

This article describes how to map one of the most complex system of trunk roads in Europe. The nature of the system required great attention to detail, so you might want to put the kettle on.

Mapping notes

Greece is not a big country like India or the United States, so there should be only one relation for each national road, even if it is split into parts (like the ΕΟ1).[a]

At most primary destinations (see tables below), the national road should ignore ring roads and bypasses, and either go through the city centre (like the ΕΟ39 in Sparta), or as close as practically possible due to pedestrianisation and one-way systems (such as the ΕΟ7/ΕΟ72/ΕΟ74 complex in Tripoli). However, there are some case-by-case exceptions (such as the ΕΟ3 bypassing Florina and Livadeia).

Example relation: ΕΟ65

Key Value Example Presence Notes
type route route ! Required
route road road ! Required
name Εθνική Οδός [number] Εθνική Οδός 65 ! Required Keep the name as simple as possible, like the N65 in the Netherlands or Highway 65 in Ontario, Canada. Use int_name=* for the transliteration, and name:[xx]=* for translations (replace [xx] with the language code).
network GR:national GR:national ! Required
ref Number prefixed by ΕΟ in Hellenic script ΕΟ65 ! Required If the Register of National Roads (1998) has a different number for the entire length of the relation (e.g. the ΕΟ9α), set ref:esye=* to that number. If a national road does not have a number that is used in practice (e.g. the ΕΟ102), ignore ref=* and use noref=yes instead.
description Route Διαβατά (ΕΟ2) - Κιλκίς - Πετρίτσι ‽ Important The route description does not belong to official_name=*, because the present route does not always match the 1963 or 1998 description (e.g. the unfinished ΕΟ85): use description:el-Latn=* for the transliteration, and description:[xx]=* for translations (replace [xx] with the language code).

note Special observations, misconceptions, etc. ΕΣΥΕ extended the ΕΟ65 from Kilkis to Petritsi in 1998. ? Optional

Ways of National Highways belong to the relevant relation with one of the following roles. When done correctly, JOSM should be able to arrange all members correctly.

Role oneway=*
(none) no for both directions.
forward yes for one-way roads, or no for a split section, if going with the direction of the way.
backward no for a split section, if going against the direction of the way.
link Slip roads leading to or from the main route.

way Ways

Only the most relevant tags are shown here, because countless other tags can be used with highway=*. Example way: Τσακώνας - Κυπαρισσίας

Key Value Example Presence Notes
highway trunk, primary or secondary primary ! Required See also: Greece § Highways in Greece
name Street name or section of route in genitive case Τσακώνας - Κυπαρισσίας ! Required Use int_name=* for the transliteration, and name:[xx]=* for translations (replace [xx] with the language code).
ref, ref:esye, or both Number prefixed by ΕΟ in Hellenic script ΕΟ9α ! Required If the Register of National Roads (1998) has a different number for a segment (e.g. the ΕΟ65), set ref:esye=* to that number. If a segment has no number that is used in practice (e.g. the ΕΟ102), ignore ref=* and use ref:esye=* only.

A source for the road numbers is important, due to the complicated evolution of the national road network, and the prevalence of fake road numbers on Wikipedia, such as the alleged Α4 (in Central Greece) and ΕΟ23 (in Corfu).

List of national roads

The first 84 national roads were introduced on 9 July 1963:[1] the official national road classification used in the following lists do not always correspond with the highway type, especially in cities. The network relation is relation 6364478 (JOSM) (National Roads of Greece)

Old alignments of national roads

The network relation is relation 6546362 (JOSM) (Old National Roads of Greece)

Historic national roads (1928–1963)

Only the ΕΟ111, which existed from 1928 to 1955, is notable enough to be mapped on OpenStreetMap: for this reason, there is no network relation.

Route Route Existed Checked Notes Ref.
Relation 20173646 ΕΟ111 road Τρίπολη - Λεβίδι - Τριπόταμα - Λυγιές 1928–1955 05 Feb 2026 The historic ΕΟ111 deviated from the ΕΟ33 between Pangrataika Kalyvia and Tripotama: the section between Lygies and Patras was part of the historic ΕΟ103. [9]
