The Dutch government and police are saying that some speed cameras cause traffic jams as a result of drivers braking sharply when they suddenly see them.
As a consequence, they have decided to remove any active mobile cameras from operation if they are seen to be causing traffic build up. This will be a temporary measure only to limit the tailbacks - the mobile devices will still monitor such areas up to the time tailbacks are anticipated.
A spokesman for the Dutch police told NOS news: "People brake, and that frequently has a domino effect on the drivers who are behind them - that can in the end lead to traffic jams."
The Dutch traffic information service, VID, claimed that in 2015, 23 major traffic jams were "100 per cent" caused by cameras.
