This paper is a contribution to the international OECD symposium "the effect of speed limits on traffic accidents and transport energy use", held in Dublin on 6-8 October 1981. Outlined are the problems of actual speeds, how speed is influenced, speed restrictions etc. in the Netherlands. In addition to factual information about the effects of the policy pursued with regard to driving behaviour, contains a description of the policy pursued in the Netherlands and the present policy intentions in this field. A summary of a number of other subjects for further investigation is presented. For the English version see B 19617 (R-81-24).
