Why the Netherlands decided to increase speed restrictions on the highway
This is called a decision in the process of European state policy of the moment. The Netherlands decided to increase the maximum authorized speed on certain highways to 130 km/h, returning to the measure adopted in 2020, which limited the speed of up to 100 km/h during the day. Then the goal was to reduce nitric oxide emissions.
But since then, the report on political force has been canceled, and the government was widely from the party for freedom (known for its anti -immigration and Euro -rosques), which adopted the authorities. The promise that should be held: the return to 130 km/h was part of the PPV campaign program, in the last election.
Therefore, with an official message on December 19, the government indicates that the study of the impact was carried out and that “Three of the four studies are now completed”They will demonstrate the field according to the government, “The fact that the maximum speed on these routes can be increased to 130 kilometers per hour during the day”The field is A7 AFSLUITDIJK, between Stevinsluizen and Lorentzsluizen, A7 between the UNSHETEN and the border with Germany and the A6 between Lelystad-Noord and Ketelbrug. “The goal is to increase the maximum speed no later than the second quarter of 2025”The government of Holland indicates, which leaves it before July 1 for the implementation of the measure.
“40 million motorists” welcomes this decision
In France, the decision of the Netherlands gives the heart of the Association of Association ” 40 million motorists “ firework “The pragmatism of the Dutchman, who without hesitation returned to measuring the speed of decline as soon as the study demonstrated their inefficiency”Adding this France by the field “He remains, caught in a trap of environmental ideology, which is to point out the car as the only responsibility for all evil”Field
If speed restriction is national competence in the European Union, then this is not in the era of the recommendations of the European Commission. In his plan “Zero vision”Transnational authority emphasizes measures to reduce mortality on the roads. Among them, the restriction of authorized speeds, with support for the statistics of the European Council for Transport Security. Simple speed “Only 1 km/h”2220 dead will be avoided in the EU every year.
