There comes an end to the volksverlakkerij between Utrecht and Amsterdam.

On the day that the Second Room is about the budget of the ministry of Infrastructure bends, VVD mp Barbara Visser with the proposal to everywhere on the vijfbaans asfalthemel between Utrecht and Amsterdam, with a maximum speed of 130 km/h. She has the support of some Labour, so there is fi-na-lly a Kamermeerderheid.

The speed goes from 1 January only between 19.00 and 6.00 pm to 130 km/h, in the course of next year, that extended to the rest of the day.

End to confusion

The speed of the A2 between the 030 and the 020 is since the widening at a terrifying 100 km/h. At the time, done as a concession to the surrounding municipalities, who by then verkeersminister Camile Eurlings (boxing!) suggestions of widening is only permitted if the maximum speed from an environmental point of view is at a dangerous low 100 km/h.

This impossible situation caused last year, 31 percent of all snelheidsboetes on the Dutch highways on the introduction of the A2 came to be, where no one can escape the all-seeing eye of the trajectcontrolecamera. There were 989.000 fines are being issued for 48 million euro.

Because motorists according to Visser, ‘the idea that they are in slow motion on a road must drive away where a Boeing could land’ is this from next year is corrected. At the same time, with the placement of additional noise barriers, a cost of 15 million euros.
