Does anyone know where there's a (signed) woonerf in Amsterdam? I need a short clip of a woonerf, but I need the woonerf sign in the shot.
I thought I has some from my videos of Groningen, but apparently not, and I don't have time to head out there on short notice!
So where can I get a shot of this sign in action in or around Amsterdam?
@notjustbikes I'm told that due to a court ruling that "walking pace" for motorists was unenforceable, you can't build them any more. So they tend to be in 1980s constructions, and in the 80s Amsterdam was mostly building apartment blocks. So they tend to only exist out in suburbs of a particular vintage.
Apparently this came about around the same time as the 30kph residential speed limit, so they just quietly took woonerven out of the books and stopped building any more.
Theres this map service online with all the verkeerborden in the Netherlands https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=9ca1d52c4540439daef96bde8f998a42
That has everything, I made a version that only has the G5 Erf sign, you can see that here: https://gspeed.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=ccd6652edf67494286ab683c3051bf23
You need to really zoom in, and it may take a few seconds to minute to load.
@rrustema020 @ednl @notjustbikes Yes, but my statement is more about the availability of the data across the landscape. Coming from the US I'm amazed to see it all so well organized, in open formats, good standards, and up to date.
The BAG and fact that there is an always up to date geocoder available is just gezellig.
@gspeed0689 @ednl @notjustbikes
I petitioned to have the postcode for free and included in the BAG (register of buildings). It used to be in the hands of the privatised postal services. To be used for a €5k per year fee. "Free the postcode!" https://bevrijddepostcode.petities.nl
The government reacted with "well, it has always been in good hands with our postal services, but we could just as well include it in the free data."
And @geotoko now makes the data available in handy and up-to-date formats.
@notjustbikes For future needs, you could query OSM data with e.g.:
way[highway=living_street]({{bbox}}); out geom;
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2dp3
Find other tags (such as this unintuitive "highway" value of living street) on the OpenStreetMap wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway
Or any other element that exists somewhere in the world :)
