Sturingsvision — Roads with a double function

This map is the starting point for tactical and operational measures in the field of regional traffic management. The main highways have a threefold function: the settlement of through traffic through the province of Utrecht, connecting the province of Utrecht with the other parts of the country and connecting the various regions within the province. The regional connecting roads connect the different regions and larger cores within the province to the motorway network. The urban connecting roads form the divisions for the cities of Utrecht and Amersfoort. The urban axes connect larger districts and districts with each other. The supporting roads have an independent function as connecting or entry roads, but also as roads that offer (some) overflow capacity in case of congestion on parallel routes. While the protected roads have a certain connecting function, they are in principle not suitable or intended to process additional traffic when congestion occurs on parallel routes. For the municipality of Vijfheerenlanden, which has been part of the province of Utrecht since 1 January 2019, no data is yet available.
