It won’t be any quieter on the highways next year either. “The ANWB also reported that thousands of additional second-hand cars have been sold,” says Fleuren. Also the CBS figures on the total number of passenger cars clearly show an increase: in 2019 there were 695,976 passenger cars in the province, this year there are 742,706. “In addition, Utrecht is the hub of the Netherlands,” adds Fleuren. “You pass quickly if you want to go to other places in the country, so it is logical that there is a lot of activity. Moreover, many people work in the province.”
More traffic jams than ever this year, but we would work from home, right?
