NWB Roads route system National roads and Provincial roads, segmentation method A, route5 (RWS)

The NWB Roads is a digital geographical database of all roads in the Netherlands. Included are all roads managed by road authorities such as the national government, provinces, municipalities and water boards, but only insofar as they are provided with a street name or number. So separate footpaths and cycle paths and unpaved roads, if provided with a street name, are also included in the NWB-Wegen. If a road has separate lanes, which is especially the case with national roads, these are processed as separate road sections in the file. The NWB Roads database currently consists of more than 158,000 hectopoints and more than 1 million digitized road sections with a total length of almost 158,000 kilometers (2020 measurement). However, this derivative product only includes national and provincial roads. It is possible to segment the route system based on information present in entities lying below the road section. There are two possible variants: A: hecto intervals: B: combination of hecto intervals and positions of hecto points. The difference between the two variants is that variant A is based on the situation in which hectometre posts on a road section are equidistant from each other. In practice this is not the case. That is why variant B has been developed. In this variant, each segment is formed by the positions of the hecto points, combined with hectometre measurement of hecto jumps and junctions of road sections (these are the hecto intervals). Because the user will want to display the network at different levels, five different route systems are provided. The NWB_wegen_route product is updated monthly. More information and news about the NWB can be found at https://nationaalwegendossier.nl/ Representatives of municipalities, provinces, water boards and Rijkswaterstaat have started designing and organizing the collaboration around the NWB. In the context of this further development of the NWB, we would like to get in touch with you, the NWB user. We therefore ask you to send an email with your contact details to the following address: nwb@rws.nl
