The large yellow sign at the first roundabout in Aalsmeer is unmissable: 'Uithoorn and FloraHolland via Schiphol-Oost (N201)'. An arrow commands the driver to drive a complete circle at the roundabout and turn right. The sign is new, the roundabout is new, the road number is new. Until 2013, all traffic rushed through Aalsmeer and Uithoorn, including the trucks on their way to FloraHolland, the largest flower auction in the world. When the new N201 was completed, which runs in a wide arc around both municipalities via the Waterwolf tunnel, this road was narrowed and given a new number, the N196. In 2021, the province transferred the road to Aalsmeer for a symbolic amount, since then it has been called the Burgemeester Kasteleinweg. The depreciation of the road made the construction of two neighborhoods possible: immediately on the left is Dorpshaven and a little further, also on the left, Polderzoom.
