Avoid congestion last year, with around 25% increased. Never increased avoid congestion as fast as last year, but what are the biggest fileknelpunten of 2015?

Since the VID started in 2000 with the collection of filestatistieken there is not such a large increase of the avoid congestion as last year. We were 25% more often in traffic than in 2014, and this is entirely according to expectation an immediate end to the decline of the avoid congestion that in 2007 we had deployed. In seven years time was avoid congestion, approximately half of the peak from 2007, but in the past year is a quarter of that decline has been offset.

The cause of this is a combination of different causes. It is partly because the effect of the implemented embankment widening is developed, but there are also new bottlenecks arise. In addition, the economy is better, so the car traffic is growing faster than in recent years. A major cause is the redistribution of traffic on some of the routes are people who are outside of the striker drove in rush hour driving. This came with particularly the ochtendspitsen in the past.

And then there was the rain. In 2014 there were 48 focus outside the holiday period in which more than 0.1 millimeter of rainfall in De Bilt. This year there were 64, particularly due to the fall (september t/m december) was much wetter than last year: 42 regenspitsen this year versus 15 in 2014.

The Top 10 largest fileknelpunten of the year 2015 is as follows.

A part of the above locations will benefit next year wegverbredingsprojecten, such as the A1 between Amsterdam and Muiden, and between Bunschoten and Hoevelaken, the netherlands. Also the rush hour lane at the A7 would be some relief have to ensure the files between Purmerend and Zaandam. Additionally, the opening of the A4 Middle Delfland for lighting shall provide for the traffic around Rotterdam.

However, new bottlenecks will arise. The problems of a bottleneck ensures that traffic is faster in other places will report. Places to take into account this problem, the nodes Gouwe and Oudenrijn the A12, and the junction Rijnsweerd on the A28.

Finally, it reports the VID there is a special situation was created on the A4 at Zoeterwoude. There was the lane widened, but still there frequent file. The actual split in a head – and parallelrijbaan is apparently not the desired result.
