Because the A12 will remain busy in the future, cycling instead of going to work by car is a good solution.
The A12 motorway runs from The Hague to Zevenaar and connects the Randstad via Gouda, Utrecht and Arnhem with the Ruhr area in Germany. The A12 is the oldest and one of the busiest highways in our country. The A12 is also called the Rainbow Route. This name comes from the different landscape types that the A12 crosses: forest, city, meadow and mosaic areas. To improve the accessibility and flow of the A12, Rijkswaterstaat is involved in maintenance and construction here on a daily basis. Unfortunately, the work on this busy highway is causing traffic disruption. Because the A12 will remain busy in the future, cycling instead of going to work by car is a good solution.
