What it provides

Mapped road features with provider-native geometry, identifiers, and classes.

Available CubeDynamics nouns

roads

Current QA/certification status

Bounded real acquisition and offline checks passed for retained samples. Broader scientific review and sustained-load testing remain open; endpoint availability is independent. QA profile: feature_line. Evidence and scope.

Serving revision / provenance information

Rolling; retain exact raw response for exact replay. No production serving revision assigned. Raw response hashes, request parameters, and source-specific metadata are preserved; a live refresh never overwrites an existing snapshot.

Important limitations

5,000 features; 6 requests / 4 MB bodies / 90 s. Ways require a node inside the bbox: long crossing ways may be absent. Public Overpass is not a sustained application backend. No automatic road-class crosswalk.
