With its central location in Europe and the good road network you can during your vacation trip almost to Germany, and so is the traffic on the busiest of moments really stuck. Where exactly?

People who are in the east or north of the Netherlands must be on the way to their holiday actually is, anyway, a piece of Germany address, even if they are in the direction of France or drive further. Destinations in Central and Eastern Europe, but also Switzerland/Italy, also, all through our eastern neighbours, who have a major role as a transit country.

The advantage of Germany is that there are relatively a lot of asphalt that is generally of a fine quality, and that the country has no significant mountains knows, so the number of tunnels (potentially significant obstacles when it is busy) is also limited. In addition, the country should have a little more free of toll for passenger cars.

The disadvantage is that, at this relatively good road surface is also very often the so-called Baustellen encounter, which is a substantial inhibitory effect on the flow.

The largest amount of traffic per square kilometre you can find without doubt in the Ruhr area, the most densely populated piece of Germany. The many millions of people and all the cargo traffic to create a good flow without leisure is already quite tricky, and if you have a miljoenmiljard not mirrored caravan-Dutch to add, you have a recipe for congestion, even though it is full of highway (what ever much easier). Especially around Cologne you need at a bad time really are not.

Black Saturday
On a Friday or leave Saturday in the holiday period (July and August) is not recommended. Friday afternoon and evening plus Saturday morning and afternoon, the traffic intensity is large. If you are able at night to drive, then this an alternative one, especially when it is very hot outside.
