This can be road characteristics are such as, for example, the maximum speed, the width of the road or the presence of entries. A separate file is available for each of these road characteristics. In this road characteristics database the locations of schools and school zones are recorded. On this At this point, it's a POC. A pilot was launched in Amsterdam in December 2022.

The purpose of this is to provide information to service providers. The road characteristics database does not include school hours, holidays and study days. This is This is something that service providers do. The road characteristics database contains only the static data. Not every school has a school zone. And there are also schools that have a school street instead of a school zone. A school street means that the street is completely fenced off during the opening and closing times of the school. Car traffic is not possible. These also school streets are displayed in the road characteristics database.

This removes certain technical columns, such as NWB_version and Roadbox start date, due to their redundancy or lack of added value. The following WKD attributes will be updated: • Axle load restrictions • Height restrictions • Burden restrictions • Length restrictions • School zone • Traffic types • Road width • Road categorisation • Road narrowings Both variants of the custom data will be available next month on the usual platforms. Adjustments to WKD files In addition, in all WKD files, the Start Date and WVK_ID columns are inverted for uniform identification. This change will be implemented in autumn 2024.
