Microsoft recently made their mined road dataset free to download and use under the ODbL license.

Using AI, they have detected road networks throughout the world.

The data can be downloaded through this link and more information can be found in this blog.

However, the data released is in TSV format, which is difficult to read in GIS softwares.

The above jupyter notebook contains python script that reads the TSV file and converts it into two popular formats (geojson and geopackage) for GIS softwares.
