This year Beatrix, queen of the Netherlands, celebrated the anual queensday (koninginnedag in Dutch) in the Flevoland province and visited Zeewolde and Almere. Chris and I took some images.

The Randstad is the central area of Holland between Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. Here we find the highest density of population and of course regular traffic jams. This animation shows the traffic situation today between 6am and 8pm.You can clearly see the morning and afternoon rush hour. One second of animation represents 30 minutes.
It has been a relatively normal day. On bad days the way from Almere to Amsterdam is completely red.

I though it would be interesting to see how the traffic situation in Almere changes during a day, so based on the site with the traffic information I created a small animated movie. It shows the traffic condition in Almere between 6am and 8pm on April 4, 2006. Almere is a fast growing town, which currently has 179.059 inhabitants. By 2010 it will be more than 200.000. Handling the growth of traffic is a real challenge, both inside of the city and even more in the direction of Amsterdam, where it is already collapsing every day.
