Description
Important Note: This item is in mature support as of July 2021.
This map presents transportation data, including highways, roads, railroads, and airports for the world.
The map was developed by Esri using Esri highway data; Garmin basemap layers; HERE street data for North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South America and Central America, India, most of the Middle East and Asia, and select countries in Africa. Data for Pacific Island nations and the remaining countries of Africa was sourced from OpenStreetMap contributors. Specific country list and documentation of Esri's process for including OSM data is available to view.
You can add this layer on top of any imagery, such as the Esri World Imagery map service, to provide a useful reference overlay that also includes street labels at the largest scales. (At the largest scales, the line symbols representing the streets and roads are automatically hidden and only the labels showing the names of streets and roads are shown). Imagery With Labels basemap in the basemap dropdown in the ArcGIS web and mobile clients does not include this World Transportation map. If you use the Imagery With Labels basemap in your map and you want to have road and street names, simply add this World Transportation layer into your map. It is designed to be drawn underneath the labels in the Imagery With Labels basemap, and that is how it will be drawn if you manually add it into your web map.

The suggested replacement Vector Tile Layer is "Hybrid Reference Layer". https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=30d6b8271e1849cd9c3042060001f425
As the commenter asked below, will there be an alternative for this? We use this over imagery in many of our maps. This would be a valuable reference tool to lose.
Is there an alternative for this now that it is unavailable? We use this for almost all of our maps with imagery.
