Focus flasher approved on N203
The Public Prosecution Service has given permission to install a focus flasher on the N203 between Uitgeest and Limmen. This flasher checks whether drivers are holding a phone or other mobile device while driving.
The measure aims to improve traffic safety on this busy regional road.
Focus flasher in the short term
The province of North Holland and the municipalities of Castricum and Uitgeest are working together on a safer design of the N203. Since these adjustments will take time, the focus flasher will be deployed in the short term to reduce distraction in traffic and prevent accidents.
Location
The flasher will be temporarily placed along the provincial road and will regularly change location. At the end of March, the province will investigate where the flasher can be placed. It is expected to remain in one place for approximately 2 months before moving to another location.
