The KNMI issued the yellow code for the provinces of South Holland and Zealand for Tuesday and Wednesday. Traffic must take into account the abundant rainfall. Heavy downpours occur regularly in the southwest and there is a risk of flooding.
According to the KNMI, more than 50 millimeters of rain could fall locally in the next 24 hours. Showers will decrease in number and intensity until Wednesday evening.
Circulation was also hampered by the autumn weather on Tuesday morning. At the height of the morning rush hour, there were 925 kilometers of traffic jams on roads A and N. According to the ANWB, it was the busiest morning run this year.
Rijkswaterstaat predicts that the evening rush hour will also be busy. “Everyone who got into the car this morning has to go home later. The fact that there are a lot of traffic jams depends, among other things, on the extent to which people drive home in staggers,” a spokesperson said.
