THE HAGUE: The Netherlands will cut daytime speed limits on motorways to 100kph to deal with a pollution crisis that has sparked protests by farmers, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Wednesday.
The new speed limit, expected to be introduced in 2020, will be the joint lowest in Europe along with Cyprus. Cars will be allowed to drive at the current limit of 130kph only at night .But he said it was needed “to stop the Netherlands from coming to a halt”. Major building projects for roads and airports have been put on hold in the eurozone’s fifth biggest economy as the government seeks ways to meet the court order.
The new speed limit is partly designed to show the farmers that other parts of society must also take some of the pain of dealing with the crisis, Dutch media said.
