NWB roads — Hectopunt (RWS)

This dataset contains the hecto points from the National Roads File (NWB) and displays detailed information per hect point such as hectometering, distance, silk and hectoletter. The NWB Wegen file is a digital geographical file of all roads in the Netherlands. Included are all roads managed by road managers such as the State, provinces, municipalities and water boards, but only to the extent that they have a street name or number. Thus, loose foot and bike paths and unpaved roads are included in the NWB-Wegen, if provided with a street name. If a road has separate lanes, which is especially the case with Rijkswegen, these are processed as separate road sections in the file. The NWB Roads file currently consists of nearly 159,000 hectolitres and more than 1.1 million digitised road sections with a total length of more than 160,000 kilometres (measured January 2022). The NWB Wegen file is updated monthly. More information and news about the NWB can be found at https://nationaalwegenbestand.nl/ Representatives of municipalities, provinces, water boards and Rijkswaterstaat have started designing and organising the cooperation around the NWB. As part of this further development of the NWB, we are happy to get in touch with you, the NWB user. Therefore, we ask you to send an email with your contact details to the following address: [email protected]
