NWB Roads — Hectopunt History 1996 (RWS)

This dataset contains the hecto points of the roads from the National Roads File (NWB) at reference date 01-01-1996. The NWB Roads is a digital geographical file of all roads in the Netherlands. All roads managed by road managers such as the State, provinces, municipalities and water authorities are included, however, only to the extent that they have a street name or number. So also loose foot and cycle paths and unpaved roads, if marked with a street name, are included in the NWB Roads. If a road has separate lanes, which is especially the case with Rijkswegen, they are processed as separate sections in the file. The NWB Roads file currently consists of more than 158,000 hecto points and more than 1 million digitised road sections with a total length of almost 158,000 kilometres (measurement 2020). The NWB Roads file is updated monthly. More information and news about the NWB can be found at https://nationaalwegenbestand.nl/ Representatives of municipalities, provinces, water authorities and Rijkswaterstaat have started to design and organise the cooperation on the NWB. In the context of this further development of the NWB, we are happy 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: [email protected]
