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?

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.

@gspeed0689 @notjustbikes Wow! I will probably never need this but amazing that it exists. Same as the map of all trees in Utrecht (and other cities via their websites, presumably).

@ednl @notjustbikes The spatial data infrastructure of the Netherlands in my opinion is top notch, the amount and diversity of data is a dream for anyone that does GIS and map making.

@gspeed0689 @ednl @notjustbikes Isn't it the other way around? First maps are drawn and then the country is made accordingly. Like, maps exist in detail before the land is created. For example, the province Flevoland.

@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.

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.

bevrijd de postcode

De petitie is succesvol! De postcodetabel komt in het publieke domein vanaf 1 februari 2012. Vroeger alleen tegen betaling en onder strenge voorwaarden bij TNT. De rechter heeft de bezwaren van TNT/PostNL verworpen. Zie nieuwsbericht.
