Minister Barry Madlener (Infrastructure) tempers expectations: only on a few stretches of highway will it be possible to drive 130 kilometers per hour during the day again for the time being. The nitrogen space is limited and noise pollution can also pose problems for the reintroduction. He expects that this may be possible on a few routes outside the Randstad. He hopes to provide more clarity about this soon. “But they will be limited routes, and for a limited distance.” But, Madlener thinks: “It’s at least a start.” Madlener previously promised that there will be a ‘Car Action Agenda’ this year, in which the approach for the introduction of 130 kilometers per hour will be explained. The biggest challenge seems to lie in creating sufficient nitrogen space, while the House of Representatives wants shrimp fishermen and farmers to be given priority. Government parties VVD and NSC are also in favor of this.
