Description
The road attribute database is a collection of databases each with a relevant road attribute
which can be linked to the national road register (NWB). 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 built-up areas, as referred to in the
Road Traffic Act. The road characteristics database thus indicates which road sections or
parts of road sections within built-up areas.
For the determination of road sections within built-up areas, use is made of
of the Basic Registration Topography (BRT).
There are several definitions of a built-up area, including:
- According to the above-mentioned Road Traffic Act and the blue signs
- Within the meaning of the Wabo, concerning zoning plans
- Within the meaning of the General Local Regulation
- According to the Nature Conservation Act and the Forest Act
- According to the Odor nuisance and Livestock Farming Act
According to CBS, there are 17 definitions of built-up areas. So here we are talking about the
built-up areas within the meaning of the Road Traffic Act.
Refurbishment WKD Road characteristics
In the coming period, the road characteristics will be redesigned with the aim of more compact and uniform recording of data. 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.
