What are the immediate impacts of the combined Easter and May holiday traffic surge on Dutch infrastructure and travel?

The Easter weekend and the start of the May holidays in the Netherlands are causing major traffic jams and crowding at Schiphol Airport. The ANWB reports significant delays, particularly in North Brabant, around the Veluwe, and on routes from Utrecht south, with 1148 kilometers of traffic jams reported yesterday. This is exacerbated by the increased number of tourists from Germany, due to border controls, and the Paaspop festival in Schijndel.
