  • Within the project ‘Fileaanpak op korte termijn’ (FileProof) of the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works there is also a project ‘Met de fiets minder files’. This plan intends to entice people to start cycling by upgrading the quality of bicycle routes along congestion bottlenecks, applying specific bicycle innovations or constructing new routes. The following stretches of road will be tackled:
