Solutions:

There are many solutions to achieve this goal, I listed some of them below.

- Overpass-api

Overpass-api & overpass-turbo let you use overpass query language to collect ways and nodes of type highway for a city :

[out:xml]; area[name = "Pantin"]; (way(area)[highway]; ); (._;>;); out;

Pantin is a city in France

- Geofabrik & Osmium

Geofabrik allows you to download various datasets from continents to cities.

Next, extract nodes and ways of type highway using Osmium tag-filters:

osmium tags-filter map.osm w/highway -o highways-ways.osm

NOTE: osmium tags-filter also works with .pbf files

- Ophois

Ophois is a CLI tool written in Rust, i created to:

• Download a map from overpass-api
• Process data from Overpass or Geofabrik to extract the street graph
• Simplify the extracted graph with detailed heuristics
• Discretize the extracted or simplified graph to a distance in meter

I also created a simple tool to display the generated graph on a Leaflet map to check the simplification process, cartographe.
Cartographe let you check the node id and the distance of links in meters using haversine formula.

Simplified and Discretized

NOTE: Simplified and discretized with 10 meters parameter

- OSMnx

OSMnx: Python for street networks. Retrieve, model, analyze, and visualize street networks and other spatial data from OpenStreetMap.

NOTE: Pantin using OSMnx
