In Amsterdam, there are many road works. Traffic controllers guide the traffic, but they often face aggression. This is dangerous for everyone. Therefore, enforcers will be deployed more frequently at these works.
At the Stadhouderskade, there have been recent incidents where traffic controllers were threatened and attacked. Enforcement and police have conducted extra checks and issued over 100 fines for traffic violations.
Traffic Controllers Deserve Respect
Councilor Melanie van der Horst says: “It is bizarre that this is necessary. Traffic controllers are there for everyones safety and deserve respect. Behave yourself!”
Traffic Checks
Enforcers will conduct traffic checks at the works on the Oranje Loper and in North at the Meeuwenlaan and Elzenhagen.
