For the second consecutive year, the number of Incident Management (IM) assignments declined in 2025. Recovery companies operating on the main road network were deployed just over 191,000 times. This is 7% lower than in 2024. In 2024, the number of IM assignments decreased by 2%. That decline could be fully attributed to a reduction in unnecessary call-outs. This was again a significant factor in 2025, but this time the contraction occurred across the board. Limited growth was only seen in the number of reports on main roads within the underlying road network. This downward trend follows a period of ten years in which the number of IM reports tripled. Annual growth averaged 12%. The 2025 figure is still 8% higher than that of 2022.

The A4 dominated the 2025 ranking of road sections with a high number of incidents. For four years, the northern approach to the Coentunnel was the most dangerous stretch of asphalt in the Netherlands (A10 Li 33.0 - 33.9). In 2025, however, both first and second place on the list were taken by the motorway between Amsterdam and The Hague. The top position was held by the exit of the sunken carriageway at Leiderdorp in the direction of The Hague (A4 Re 33.0 - 33.9). There, Incident Management recovery operators handled 57 incidents. Close behind, with 55 incidents, was a section of road north of the Prins Clausplein interchange in the direction of Leiden (A4 Li 44.0 - 44.9).
