Well mainly from experience it's the motorways where the inside lanes are closed off with concrete barriers as they have been destroyed by all the HGV traffic which concentrates in the country as transit off the major ferry routes into the rest of Europe. There appeared to be no attempt to repair them I guess because they don't have the money hence the permanent concrete barriers which reduce the width of the available two remaining lanes. All a bit scary at times.

Also never ever join the Brussels Ring Road unless you have a few years to spare.

Belgium and The Netherlands are little more than a load of sand that came down the Rhine - there's little in the way of topsoil. They have these roads which are just made of bricks in a herringbone pattern. Driving along these is like having square wheels. When the sand shifts underneath, you end up with undulations, humps and pits all over the place.
