It's just over 25 years since I was pulled in a Dutch tunnel by the Police for not going fast enough in an RP Saloon. The fact that they stopped me when the requirement was that I should have been going faster seems as odd now as it did then. They 'escorted' me out of the tunnel with a police car in front and another behind - flashing lights on both but, thankfully, no sirens. Once out, they gave me a bollocking and told me in no uncertain terms to obey the minimum speed limits in the future or keep away from them.
The ANWB Road Atlas (mine's 1:100,000. 1:150 would be a big, big book) as recommended by Brian is a must as it shows the 'small' roads. Most of the common, commercially available, maps are to a larger scale and don't. They can prove difficult to obtain though. Mine came from a Dutch ANWB member/A7 owner. The agenda in Holland seems to be to get traffic onto the main, through, routes and off the sort of roads we prefer.

The ANWB book that I mentioned is A4 size and is 1/4" inch thick. I got mine from Stanfords in England a few years ago for the princley sum of £8.95 though it has no doubt increased now.
It shows all the small roads, including the ones alongside motorways etc but you need to know that they are there otherwise they are very easy to miss on the map.
