2020 will go down as an exceptionally quiet year in terms of traffic jams. That does not mean that there were also monster traffic jams this year. Most of the 10 traffic jams with the most delay did take place before corona got a grip on the Netherlands.
Based on the user data of the Flitsmeister app, a top 10 of the longest traffic jams of 2020 has been drawn up. Flitsmeister reports that the biggest delay took place on Friday morning, January 10. That was on the A16 between Markbrug and Moerdijkbrug. That traffic jam resulted in a delay of no less than 113 minutes. In second place is a traffic jam that did arise during the corona crisis. On Tuesday September 1 things went wrong on the A15 towards Pernis in the middle of the day. That resulted in a delay of 118 minutes. In third place, the traffic jam of Tuesday morning 4 February on the A7 between Avenhorn and Purmerend ends. Then a delay of 116 minutes was measured.
In the rest of the top 10 there are only two files that took place after the outbreak of the corona virus in the Netherlands. The traffic jam on Thursday 28 May on the A12 between Nieuwerbrug and Woerden is in sixth place. It took you 112 minutes. In eighth place the most recent traffic jam from the top 10 and the only one on an N-road; on Monday afternoon, November 9, there was a 108-minute delay on the N15 on the Maasvlakte. This was due to an accident with several trucks on the A15.
