When renting a car in The Netherlands, beware of the speeding camera trap called Trajectcontrole.

These are segments of the highway where your average speed is measured between the entrance and exit cameras.

Your intended route from Amsterdam to Maastricht has 3 zones in a row between Amsterdam and Utrecht, then the land of the free runs all the way until the tunnel in Maastricht.

The road signs and the cameras are in the images below. FIrst pic is the entrance gate where cameras look at your back as you enter the zone.




The navigation app Waze does show them accurately (not the end of these zones though: to be safe, assume they run until the next exit)


In case of a fine the rental company will transfer your details to the authorities, and charge you an "administrative fee" of 20-30 EUR.
