Shops, bars and restaurants in the Netherlands had already been operating under a 5 pm to 5 am curfew since the end of November, but according to the new lockdown measures, these places must be closed.
Nevertheless, fuel stations and food stores in the country are still allowed to be open after 5:00 pm, explains the Dutch road transport association TLN.
Also, roadside restaurants belonging to the main road network may open according to their normal opening hours, but exclusively to drivers. Guests must be able to prove that they are professional drivers. However, the way in which this should be demonstrated has not been defined yet.
It must be noted that roadside restaurants and fuel station cafes that are not located on the main roads must stay closed during the restrictions. Therefore, TLN has provided a list of roads that belong to the main road network.
