It looks like this pakjesavond will bring poems and presents — and rush hour traffic. 🎉
If you’re heading off to work today, you’ll need to plan for extensive rush hour traffic this evening, reports NU.nl. 😬 The culprits? Rain and pakjesavond crowds.
Here’s what we know
In part thanks to tonight’s celebrations, rush hour traffic jams will likely start much earlier than usual and last longer.
Instead of the usual 5PM to 6PM rush hour chaos we’ve all come to complain about, today’s mix of events will lead to traffic jams that start at around 3PM.
As if holiday traffic wasn’t enough, the infamous Dutch weather has once again graced us with its relentless presence, just to make our lives a little more complicated.
