Traffic situation in the Randstad
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.
Apple Quicktime 7 is required to watch the movie.
