The two new section controls will be located on the Horstebaan (between the Listdreef and the Amerlolaan) and on the Alice Nahonlei (between the Nachtegalenlei and the Wezelsebaan roundabout). Three years ago, Loes (7) died in a traffic accident on the Horstebaan. This happened near the intersection with Amerlolaan. She was hit by a car when she tried to cross the road with her bicycle.
The intersection where that fatal accident occurred has already been made safer, including with traffic lights. But according to Mayor Maarten De Veuster (N-VA), people still often drive too fast. “After the tragic death of Loes, there were additional Mobility council committees in which the Schoten councilors decided that a section control was also necessary. We hope that the infrastructure can be installed before the summer and then the section control can normally be carried out in the autumn. come into effect.”
There is a speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour on the roads where there will be section checks. With such a speed check, your average speed over a certain distance is measured.
