The yarn season begins again Interior

"It is rather dark and dark, which means that the road users are extremely vigilant and they adjust their speed, which means that we keep more distance and build less, which means that we use a lot more asphalt, "says Frank Boer of VCNL.

"Especially when it is accompanied by other so-called" fileverzwaarders "such as rain, snow or slush, it can quickly cause significant congestion on the road on which the bumper is leads to the bumper. And if that happens, the risk of collision is also greater and automatically leads to even longer and longer traffic jams, "said Boer.

The VCNL predicts that from next week, the length of the line will be regularly the peak of the evening will be 400 kilometers. "The busy season begins after the autumn holidays, not only with the bad weather and the dark, but also with the sun rising over a glowing, glowing sphere that dazzles motorists," said Boer. "In addition, the evening rush hour will begin in half an hour, so at 3 pm Apparently, many people want to go home before dark."

Not only on the fast and provincial highways, it is important to be cautious. Pedestrians and cyclists will also have to take additional steps in the coming week. "The risks of killing or serious injuries among these road users increase by almost 60% with the introduction of winter time, and they mostly fall between 16:00 and 19:00," states Rob Stomphorst of Safe Traffic Netherlands (VVN).

"Although a lot of attention was paid to good lighting for cyclists last week, you can see that this group is more alert and aware, but precisely because the holiday is between them 39, it suddenly becomes a dark hour, a lot of children will be surprised from tomorrow that it will be dark an hour earlier.Especially when they walk, they are not clearly visible and we 're sure it' s dark. accustomed to all road users I hope that in built-up areas, the speed will be adjusted, because every second counts when you have to brake suddenly, "says Stomphorst.

"Pedestrians, as well as cyclists, must therefore ensure good visibility," said the VVN spokesman. "You do that, for example, by wearing reflective clothing that you can see at 150 meters, with dark clothing that is only 20 meters, and something so simple can make the difference between an accident or not. ..
