We present an analysis of traffic data of the highway network of North-Rhine-Westphalia in order to identify and characterize the sections of the network which limit the performance, i.e., the bottlenecks. It is clarified whether the bottlenecks are of topological nature or if they are constituted by on-ramps. This allows to judge possible optimization mechanisms and reveals in which areas of the network they have to be applied. Our results support previous empirical observations and theoretical studies indicating that the overall travel-time of vehicles in a traffic network can be optimized by means of ramp metering control systems.
