Title: CHAPTER 12: TRAFFIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY IN THE NETHERLANDS. FROM THE GREENING OF URBAN TRANSPORT, EDITION 2.
Abstract: In the Netherlands, the total environmental impact of transport reflects the combined effect of vehicle use volume, driver behavior and noise and exhaust from vehicles. Considerable progress has been made on some issues, but some of the environmental benefit is being negated by increased traffic. The growth of road freight transport, a crucial issue both for transport and environment policy, appears to be out of control: the number of lorry-kilometers rose by 24 percent from 1986 to 1994 and about 45 percent of the maximum targeted growth for 2010 has already been reached. If current economic and transport trends continue it is not clear how transport-related environmental pressures are going to be contained in the long run
