It is misleading to see such empty motorways in the Netherlands!
The country is very crowded, with over 17 million people living on a small area. The population density is over 500 people per square kilometer, more than 10 times the world average.
The road network is one of the densest and most used in the world.
The Netherlands has developed various solutions to cope with its high population density and traffic demand, such as strict land use planning, reclaiming land from the sea, expanding public transport and cycling infrastructure, implementing smart mobility technologies, and promoting sustainable mobility behaviour.
