In national context, the town is mostly known because of the homonymous motorway interchange between the E30, E231 and E232.
The European routes E30 and E75 used to intersect in the town until a bypass was built around the town in 2010.
It lies on the (former) shore of the IJsselmeer which allows for transportation of goods via ships, and the proximity of two major motorways, the E30 (A1) and E232 (A28).
