winter time
The chance of a busy evening rush hour is slightly greater from next Monday. That has to do with the winter time, which will be introduced this weekend.
Road users should take into account that traffic jams may occur earlier in the evening after this weekend. This is because winter time will be introduced next Saturday and Sunday night, which invariably leads to more delays in the following period. Rijkswaterstaat already warns against this and states that the extra busy evening rush hour is mainly due to drivers who have to get used to being on the road in the dark in all the crowds.
According to Rijkswaterstaat, getting used to it is mainly due to the fact that the dark rear lights appear brighter and distract some motorists. Visibility is also obviously less and, according to Rijkswaterstaat, more people keep more distance from their vehicle in front in the dark. “That’s good for safety, but it does allow less traffic on the road,” he said NU.nl on. All these things, in combination with the already increased traffic during the evening rush hour, will probably lead to more delays than now. On top of that, the autumn holidays will be over for many on Monday.
