Traffic in the Netherlands is congestested. Lots and lots of traffic lights in the inner cities. Lots of people riding their bike, who, most of the time, have right of way.
Resulting in countless auto stop/start. Not only ours, but every ones. Honk honk honk everywhere, people eager to get moving.
In the country and on the freeways no problem. But the cities...
No wonder the Netherlands has many many roundabouts.
