Maximum Speed Map (RWS)

Description

The road characteristics database (WKD) for speeds contains speed limits for all roads in the NWB. At the beginning of 2017, WKD was filled with data supplied by municipalities for the whole of the Netherlands. From that moment on, the new traffic regulations have been used via the Knowledge and Exploitation Centre for Official Government Publications (KOOP) to detect and process changes in speed limits. The NWB changes faster than the speed limits are supplied by the road authorities or placed in SALE. By means of algorithms, the speed is supplemented where necessary for short intermediate road sections. As a result, the speed limit is unknown for a few percent. Since 2022, the characteristics Trees, Entrances, Comb Borders, Parking Points, Parking Boxes, Traffic Center, Traffic Types, Road Width, Road Categorization and Road Narrowings have been added to the database as a csv file. NB: In residential areas where a maximum speed of 30 km per hour applies, or a residential area, this leads to major deviations from reality. Since 2017, the number of country roads with a 60 km limit has also increased considerably. The possible speeds that can be entered are 5, 15, 20, 30 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 130 km per hour and unknown. The speeds only apply to roads that are open to car traffic. On cycle paths, footpaths and other roads that are not open to car traffic, the speed is unknown. This also applies to the ferry connections. The file provides variable maximum speeds with a start time and an end time. These apply in particular to motorways. Outside this period with the indicated start time and end time, an alternative speed applies. So for example between 6:00 and 19:00 applies 100 km per hour and beyond that the maximum speed is 120 km per hour. The road characteristics database for speeds also contains the recommended speeds applicable to a given road section or part thereof.
