## Resource

Truck drivers across the Netherlands are stuck in a nightmare: over 4,400 legal parking spots are missing, especially in key regions like Noord-Brabant, Gelderland, and Limburg—critical hubs linking Rotterdam to Europe. With demand soaring and infrastructure lagging, drivers risk fines or unsafe driving just to rest legally. Years of warnings from unions and transport groups have gone unheeded, turning this into a structural crisis. While 43 million euros has been pledged for fixes, real change demands more than government action—private sector innovation, smarter land use, and secure, well-equipped facilities are urgently needed before this nightly struggle becomes the norm.
