Because this year, there are no traffic jams in France and Germany.

That I do not say that says the ANWB. And is it true, is it? They think that all of the 300,000 Dutch people that this year the skis/snowboard/toboggan/other prevention really quickly and without a lot of stopping at the place of destination. And this is why. The Germans and the French have the next week just work, and that means that only we Dutch go winter sports. And that means mixture on the Autobahn/Autoroute.

But eventually, not too early to applaud, because there is, of course, a number of hooks and eyes to this jubelbericht. First, it is expected that the final kilometers to the destination, indeed. And anyone who ever has been on a skiing, know that this is often not tender files. Those mountain roads are just not suitable for such a huge influx of cars, or there is a rock on the road, so you can still just a few hours to lose.

Furthermore, the French have announced a very good doorreizende foreigners to pay attention to. Do you have a yellow plate, then you are lying extra hard under a magnifying glass. Also do they still stricter border controls, what your time costs. Finally, Germany, there you are, with all the ‘Baustellen’ and you should be out there with winter tires through it. And, generally, should you be less hard than with the ordinary zomerslof.

Nevertheless; the roads will be quieter than other years. If you are going, a lot of fun. We keep the BV the Netherlands it is running.

UPDATE: Heavy snow this evening for traffic noise taken care of to the Austrian fern pass. By the fall of snow was about 23: 00, more than 10 kilometres of traffic jam at the pass, an important connection between Germany and the Austrian ski resorts. Some Dutch people were, according to the VID, waiting hours for.
