I have a shapefile showing New Zealand's road network, and I need to break up roads at their intersections for my analysis but I haven't been able to do so.

So far I've tried Vector>Analysis Tools>Line intersections to create points at the intersections, and then SAGA>split lines at points, but QGIS kept crashing when it was attempting the second half. I've also tried SAGA >split lines with lines, but this also crashed QGIS.

The result I'm hoping for is to be able to export a shapefile with the existing road network, with the network divded into individual strings at their intersections.

  • Please provide more details, e.g. what you tried so far, what your result should look like, and an example of the level of detail as a screenshot.
