Current Road List (RWS)

The Current Road List is compiled by the Central Information Service (CIV). This publication incorporates all changes known to CIV in the (numbered) national road network. The national roads are divided into Planwegen (1- 99) and Planvervangendewegen (200 to 838 and 915). The basis for the classification are the Second Structural Plan for Transport and Traffic (SVV-II) and the Multiannual Programme for Infrastructure and Transport (MIT 2000 - 2004).

The Current Road List has been revised and improved. From now on, the data will only be published according to the new format.

you can read what the changes are, why they have been implemented, and where you can view and use the data according to the new format.

The Current Road List provides information about the length of roads and is compiled on the basis of the current National Road File (NWB). The process for determining the actual roads is significantly automated and optimized. Unlike the old Current Road List, which was updated manually, this has now become a fully automated process. In addition, several attributes are being revised, as feedback has shown that some are no longer relevant. In order to determine the length of the roads/road sections as precisely as possible, entrances and exits are now also included in the calculation.
With these adjustments, end-users may also need to adapt their own systems. The use of the Current Road List is usually integrated into various services.
