In Tilburg, The Netherlands we have 5 kinds transports. For example, we have : trains, bicycles , scooters, buses and cars. People use cars and bicycles the most to go to another place. We use bikes to go to short distances places and cars for long distance places. But not everyone does that, for example students use the train or the bus to go to their college because it is far away and they usually don’t own cars. There’s also people who work in Amsterdam but live in Tilburg, they mostly use the train because it is faster. The transport we use in Tilburg is fast but that doesn’t mean it is always fast. In The Netherlands we have something called the ‘ochtend spits and the avond spits’. The ochtend spits is happening in the morning and then there is a traffic jam because most people go to work in the morning. We also have the avond spits that is happening in the night and then there is also a traffic jam because people go back from their work. The spits in general is the time of the day where the most traffic is. This can also happen with trains but then it is different. If something broke on the train rails for example, then the train can’t go to the destination until it is fixed and than all the other trains who also were going to that destination are cancelled. The trains and buses are of course not free. They cost money and the amount of money depends on where you go. The further you go the more it costs. You have transport in The Netherlands but also traffic. The traffic in Tilburg is save in my opinion because there are a lot of traffic lights which indicates when you can go and when you have to stop. There are also thresholds to slow the drivers and there are school zones at some primary schools so the drivers know that they have to drive carefully. There are also enough traffic signs for the drivers so they know if there is a speed limit and road work ahead etc. |

The Conclusion
What do we now know about Transport and Traffic?:
We have learned that there are a lot of ways to go to another destination. Sometimes you only have one choice if you want to go for example to an open field, you can go there with your car and bike but not for example with a boat. Also thanks to our surveys we can now figure out what people think that the most dangerous transport is, what they prefer, the advantages & disadvantages and much more. This is all thanks to the surveys we did and the interviews. There are also times when it is busy on the road and when it doesn't, it is mostly busy when the people go in the morning to their jobs and in the evening when the people return from their jobs, this is called the rush hour. Further more we know that there are almost always roads where ever you go, they have different kind of roads like: the highway and major roads. Major roads are important because they link up cities with each other, they als have name like "A13".
