According to the ANWB, traffic congestion in the Netherlands has increased by 8% in 2024 compared to 2023, with significant delays observed outside peak hours. Key factors for the rise include population growth and an increase in the number of vehicles. Notably, traffic during the day surged by 18%, especially on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Improvements from new road constructions have alleviated congestion at certain points, yet expectations indicate continued traffic growth into 2025 due to upcoming roadworks.
