RevisionsNone recorded since 2026-07-07. Every retrieval is stored append-only; when the source restates history, the old and new values become comparable here.
Pipeline notesVerified 6 Jul 2026: annual filezwaarte totals exist only in the RWS Rapportage Rijkswegennet PDF (open.overheid.nl) → manual drop. Raw NDW travel-time data is machine-readable but reproducing the metric requires own aggregation — out of scope.

Raw snapshot (JSON) · every observation keeps its retrieval timestamp and revision history in the public database.
