The Dutch traffic regulations for course holding and lane changing on motorways are dated from the time that these roads were constructed with two traffic lanes. Since more traffic lanes are constructed these regulations should be reconsidered. Driving on the right side of the road as much as possible is mandatory; the use of an indicator when changing the lane to the right is not mandatory. Some car drivers do not obey these regulations, as is shown by overtaking at the right side, by staying for a long time and without reason on the left or middle traffic lane and by the use of an indicator when changing the lane to the right. A literature review was made and observations of traffic behavior were done to investigate how far the existing regulations regarding lane-changing on motorways were enacted and its consequences for road safety. Thereafter an investigation was conducted to ascertain whether the American keep-your-lane system would be a better alternative for the current regulations on motorways.
