Rijkswaterstaat calls on people to work from home ‘if possible’. The traffic organization expects long traffic jams on Thursday, both in the morning and in the afternoon. The reason for this is a combination of “traffic volume and rainfall”. That is why the traffic organization calls on people via Twitter to work from home.
Rain is forecast during the morning and evening rush hours. As a result, it can become very busy on the road, Rijkswaterstaat expects. Last Tuesday it was also very busy, in and around the city there were long traffic jams when it rained heavily. At the peak of the evening rush hour, there were more than 600 kilometers of traffic jams on the highways. Tuesdays and Thursdays are traditionally the busiest days of the week on the road.
