Samenvatting
The recently published "National Environmental Outlook 4" shows that in spite of the Dutch government's desire for carbon dioxide (CO2) deceases, the CO2 emitted from road traffic will increase significantly between the years 1995 and 2020 if current policies are implemented. The 2010 target for the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission from cars will be met and the NOx emission from road haulage will be about four times higher than the target. The 2010 target for noise nuisance (a negligible level) will not be met. It will be extremely difficult to realize the targets for CO2 emission from road traffic, for total NOx from cars and road haulage, and for noise nuisance. (A)
