“May I here, now, 100, 120, or 130?”

So is the majority of the Dutch people behind the wheel on the Dutch highways. As soon as there are no signs popping up that a certain speed indicates we lost the trail. Many motorists reduce their speed to 120 or 100 km/h if it is not clear, (or are they Called ‘ hippies) while 130 is allowed. Who from abroad the Dutch border passes to see ‘130’ on a large sign. This is our normsnelheid. This means that if there is no signage along the road, this speed should keep.

Since 1 september 2012 this standard is active. Nonetheless, many people do not know. According to Rijkswaterstaat think 41 percent of the drivers 120 km/h the normsnelheid is when there are no signings along the way. 10 percent think that there than 100 km/h should be.

There is still much to do to get the speed limit in the Netherlands. Especially the milieulobby screaming murder and fire about 130-drive. The number of ways in which 130 km/h should be still further extended with as milestone the deadly dull A2, which is now between 19:00 and 06:00 finally 130 can shelves.

Tips for the drivers who still question marks: use an app like Flitsmeister or Waze in the car. This one, on the basis of your location to see which speed limit applies. Kei useful.
