Only during some evening rush hours earlier this year was it even busier on the road.
In particular, a number of traffic jams around Rotterdam, where several traffic accidents occurred, contribute significantly to the delay. There it is quite congested on the A4, A15 and A16.
Many long daily traffic jams
“We also see many long daily traffic jams in North Brabant and Gelderland,” said a spokeswoman. She mentions the rain and the end of the autumn holidays as other causes for the enormous crowds on the road. In addition, the roads are often busy on Tuesdays.
Rijkswaterstaat already reported the accidents near Rotterdam earlier on Tuesday. An accident happened in both directions on the A16 near Capelle aan den IJssel. This traffic service, which only records the highways, measures more than 600 kilometers of traffic jams. The ANWB also adds the N-roads to the delays.
