Node index
The network is a patchwork of regional systems that agreed to connect at the seams. Numbers repeat between provinces, and the seams are where most people get lost.
By region
Node counts in the current dataset. Regional operators publish updates on their own schedules, so coverage is uneven by design.
What a node page carries
Connected nodes and the distance to each, the surface of every outgoing leg, nearest drinking water and toilet, nearest bike repair, and whether the signpost has been reported missing.
Border crossings
Where the Dutch and Belgian networks meet, the numbering changes without much warning. The sign says one number, your map says another, and both are correct within their own system. Cross-border legs carry a note for this.
Reported missing signposts
The weak point of the whole system is a single missing sign at a junction. Riders report them, we list them, the regional authority eventually replaces them. Currently open: 0.
Seen one that isn't here? Send the node number and the direction you were heading — that second part is what makes the report actionable.
Reading a signpost
Each post carries the number of the junction you are standing at, and arrows to the neighbouring junctions with their numbers. That is the whole system. You do not follow a route name or a colour — you follow a list of numbers you decided on in advance.
The failure mode is arriving at a junction where the post has been hit by a tractor, and realising you memorised only the next number rather than the two after it. Write the whole chain down. That is what the strip in the planner output is for.
