Will you be able to drive 130 kilometers per hour on Dutch highways for a whole day again? The four founding parties are investigating whether they can raise the speed limit again, reports the newspaper Algemeen Dagblad.
Until 2020, there was a general speed limit of 130 kilometers per hour on Dutch motorways, but in an effort to reduce nitrogen emissions, Rutte III’s cabinet then decided to intervene and reduce the maximum speed through the day (between 6am and 7pm). The rate of 130 per hour continued to apply between 7pm and 6am.
However, according to Algemeen Dagblad, the four founding parties – PVV, VVD, NSC and BBB – are currently investigating whether they can increase the maximum speed again for the whole day. “A few weeks ago they sent official questions about this to the ministries involved to find out what the impact would be and whether such a restart is possible,” the paper said. news writing.
Experts have already publicly expressed their doubts about the effectiveness of the measure. For example, nitrogen expert Wim De Vries (Wageningen University) previously said that the speed reduction only reduces emissions by a maximum of 0.2 percent. “It hardly helps nature at all. “
