#DrivingtheNetherlands #A15 #A27

Welcome back to the Dutch highway. In this video you can drive along on the A15 and A27 motorways from Rotterdam to Utrecht. The usual (little shorter and faster) route would be the A20 and A12 connection. In this case the navigation recommended A15 / A27 so I went along with it.

The A12 is a 2x5 lane super highway, however the A20 is still only 2x2 lanes at its narrowest between Gouda and Rotterdam, leading to a lot of congestion. The A15 and A27 is also not the smoothest corridor. It was fine to drive in this video because it was a Sunday so little to no truck traffic. Usually the A15 is full with trucks because it's one of the main connectors between the Port of Rotterdam and the German Ruhrgebiet.

As you can see in the video the A15 is just 2x2 lanes from the exit Dordrecht, however in the past month they were able to open the 2x3 alignment there for a couple of extra kilometers. There are also some obvious bottlenecks in the A27 with just a 2x2 alignment, although it's an important North-South route in the Netherlands and the main connection between Utrecht - Breda and beyond (Antwerp). The A27 is due for an extensive overhaul but its narrow alignment and lack of space on the outside on some stretches are causing problems.

I hope you enjoyed this drive along through the heart of the Netherlands despite the rainy conditions. Please consider subscribing if you enjoy this kind of content :)
