Beautiful weather causes long traffic jams towards the coast

It has been extremely busy on the highways all morning, especially towards the west of the country, says spokesperson for the Flemish Traffic Center Peter Bruyninckx. At peak time, around 11:30 am, there was 180 km of traffic jams, “extremely long for a public holiday”. “We see that people are going out en masse. The peak is now behind us, but just before one there were still 140 km of traffic jams on the Flemish highways,” Bruyninckx concludes.
