The route continues as main road N44 towards The Hague, providing an alternative link with Amsterdam for the A4 motorway.

Small dimensions of the carriageway, narrow bridges and tight junctions are signs of outdated design.

It is also remarkable that the A44 is one of the very few busy Randstad-motorways not being equipped with active traffic management nor lit for the major part.

When leaving the Burgerveen interchange in the province of North Holland, the A44 runs through rural area known as the Bollenstreek.

The motorway ends a few kilometers south of Leiden in Wassenaar at an at-grade junction with traffic lights.
