Belgian road safety is back in the spotlight as Vlaams minister van Mobiliteit Annick De Ridder (N-VA) announces the reinstatement of signs warning about trajectcontroles on regional roads. This move, confirmed in parliament on 2025-06-19 23:34:00, reverses the decision of her predecessor Lydia Peeters (Open VLD), who had removed these important traffic control signs.

How will this affect daily commuters across Flanders? The reinstallation of trajectcontrole warning signs aims to improve road safety by alerting drivers to speed monitoring zones, potentially reducing accidents and speeding violations. But why were these signs removed in the first place, and what impact did their absence have?
Understanding the implications of this policy shift is crucial for all road users in Belgium, especially those who frequently travel on gewestwegen. Let’s explore what this means for local mobility and safety.
What does this decision tell US about the government’s approach to mobility and safety? Reintroducing these signs signals a renewed focus on transparent traffic enforcement and proactive accident prevention. It also raises questions about the balance between strict monitoring and driver privacy.
- Trajectcontrole signs help drivers anticipate speed checks and adjust accordingly.
- The removal under Lydia Peeters sparked debate on effectiveness and public acceptance.
- De Ridder’s move aligns with N-VA’s emphasis on road safety and clear communication.
Looking ahead, will this policy encourage safer driving habits and reduce accidents? Belgian motorists should stay informed about these changes and adapt their driving to support a safer mobility environment across Flanders.
