Extra snel geholpen
Rijkswaterstaat has implemented the heat protocol for Friday. The service states that the temperature exceeding 30 degrees in many provinces has an impact on road users. Stranded motorists will be helped as quickly as possible with this protocol.
According to this protocol, a recovery vehicle will immediately go to every accident or breakdown. This prevents people from standing along the road in the heat for too long. The heat protocol applies on Friday in the provinces of Limburg, Noord-Brabant, Zuid-Holland, Noord-Holland, Utrecht, Gelderland, Overijssel and Flevoland.
Rijkswaterstaat advises people who are going on the road to bring enough water. “The asphalt temperature can rise to above 50 degrees on tropical days. If you unexpectedly get stuck along the road, a few bottles of water are certainly not an unnecessary luxury.” An umbrella can also come in handy if you have to wait along the road in the sun, is the advice.
