Belgium’s plan to expand trajectcontroles along gewestwegen is undergoing significant changes. Originally, 82 new trajectcontroles were scheduled, but recent updates reveal that 70 of these will be cancelled. This major revision was announced by Flemish Minister for Mobility Annick De Ridder in the Flemish Parliament.
- Van 82 trajectcontroles worden 70 geschrapt
- Slechts tien trajecten blijven over
- Nieuwe trajectcontroles worden beperkt ingepland
- Vlaams Minister Annick De Ridder informeert
- Beslissing genomen in Vlaams Parlement
- Focus ligt op gewestwegen trajecten
As of 2025-07-03 10:21:00, only about ten trajectcontroles will be installed instead of the initially planned number. This decision raises questions about the future of road safety enforcement in Flanders and what it means for daily commuters and local authorities.
Why the drastic reduction in trajectcontrole installations? And how will this affect traffic management on regional roads? The answers point to a more focused approach, balancing effectiveness and resources.
What does this mean for drivers and policymakers? The decision suggests a move towards prioritising key locations over widespread coverage. This could improve enforcement efficiency but might leave some areas less monitored. Key points include:
- Reduced number of trajectcontroles to focus on high-risk zones
- Potential cost savings and better allocation of resources
- Possible impact on driver behaviour due to fewer monitoring points
Looking ahead, authorities will need to monitor the impact of this scaled-back approach closely. Will this lead to safer roads or gaps in enforcement? Belgian drivers and local governments should stay informed and adapt to these evolving mobility policies.
