Slowway register (WMS)

The slow roads register contains the inventoried slow roads in Flanders. This means: roads that mainly serve slow traffic (pedestrians, cyclists and/or horse riders, possibly combined with agricultural or service vehicles) and that are used publicly. The database also contains non-abolished neighbourhood and footpaths that are not (or no longer) accessible. The service also includes photo locations with a hyperlink to a site photo of the location.The provinces proactively support the municipalities in the local policy around slow roads. They help to identify slow roads and to draw up and implement policy plans for slow roads. As a result, the provinces have many inventories of slow roads. These inventories have been drawn up at municipal level by various organisations (municipality itself, intermunicipal, regional landscapes, Trage Wegen vzw, ...) with different methodologies. In order to make this a Flemish area-covering layer, the five provinces have drawn up a common database structure. All municipal inventories are gradually 'translated' into this unified database structure. The data is also geometrically aligned with the Road Register. This is a collaboration between the provincial mobility services, with technical support by the GIS services.The Slow Roads data layer is permanently supplemented as new inventories are converted to the interprovincial database structure (content) and Road Register (geometric).
