The past two Thursday mornings there was 293 and 264 kilometers of traffic jams, so the consequences of the snow showers in the country are “significantly noticeable”, the spokesman said. “People drive more carefully and keep more distance,” he explains the longer traffic jams.
It is especially busy in Arnhem and in North Brabant. Near Arnhem, a truck with offal overturned at the Waterberg junction during the night. Clearing up will cause delays in both directions on the A50. There is a long traffic jam of 27 kilometers on the A27. There is actually a big traffic jam from Breda to Gorinchem,” said a spokesperson. This is due to ‘detour drivers’ after an accident involving several cars on the A16. Both accidents are “not demonstrable” because of the winter weather.
Rail traffic has not been affected by the snow showers for the time being. Neither rail manager ProRail nor carrier NS report any disruptions.
