Driving in the Netherlands: rest areas, tolls and rules
Dutch motorways are free almost everywhere and have plenty of stops. Here is how they are named and which rules are worth knowing before you set off.
- Speed limit on motorways
- 100 km/h from 06:00 to 19:00 on most motorways; outside those hours up to 120 or 130 km/h where signed.
- Tolls
- Only two road tunnels charge cars: the Kiltunnel near Dordrecht and the Blankenburg tunnel on the A24 near Rotterdam, which has no barriers and is paid online.
- Lorry driving bans
- None.
- Emergency number
- 112.
Types of stop
A verzorgingsplaats is a service area with a filling station and often a shop or restaurant. A parkeerplaats is a simple rest area with parking and sometimes toilets.
Rush-hour lanes
Many motorways have a rush-hour lane (spitsstrook) that is open only when the signs above it show a speed limit; a red cross means the lane is closed.
