    The Global Roads Inventory Project version 4 (GRIP4) provides a harmonized
    global roads dataset compiled from government and commercial sources. It
    contains over 21 million km of roads classified into 5 types based on
    importance (highways, primary, secondary, tertiary, local/urban). The
    dataset was created to support global biodiversity and environmental
    impact assessments, particularly road ecology studies analyzing habitat
    fragmentation, roadkill risk, and accessibility modeling.

          Compiled from 60+ sources including OpenStreetMap, government
          road databases, and commercial datasets. Harmonized into a
          consistent global classification scheme. Completeness varies
          by region and road type.
        accuracy: >
          Highway and primary road completeness >90% globally. Secondary
          and tertiary roads less complete in developing regions. Positional
          accuracy varies by source. See Meijer et al. 2018, Environmental
          Research Letters 13(6).
