Eine schöne vierspurige Straße in Dilbeek, die Brüssel mit Ninove verbindet. Damals konnte man mit Autos, die nur halb so schnell fuhren wie heutige Modelle, mit angenehmen 90 km/h unterwegs sein. Vor etwa zehn Jahren wurde die Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung auf 70 km/h gesenkt und das war völlig in Ordnung. Später wurde es mit einem Abschnittskontrollsystem/Trajectcontrole durchgesetzt, und auch damit hatte ich kein Problem. Tempomat auf 70 stellen und losfahren.
Jahrelang habe ich an dieser Stelle keine nennenswerten Unfälle gesehen. Ich gehe davon aus, dass sich alle ganz gut an das Limit gehalten haben, vielleicht sogar ein bisschen zu gut, denn vor Kurzem wurde die Geschwindigkeit wieder auf 50 km/h reduziert.
Kann mir bitte jemand helfen, den Zweck dieser Änderung zu verstehen, abgesehen von der weiteren Unterstützung des Einnahmemodells, das Glenn Janssens offenbar zu genießen scheint?

It’s easier to pass than additional taxes, no parliamentary vote, no media coverage,…

Just think about all the polar bears and penguins this will protect!!!!
In Dendermonde I saw them placing a flitspaal. I thought, well, it’s a 70 and you shouldn’t be going any faster because it’s 300m before it turns in to a 50 zone. That’s actually a good place to put a flitspaal.
Then on the day they activated it, was the same day they placed the 50 sign to right before the flitspaal. Literally the same fucking day!
Safety my ass. It’s just to generate money.
They say is for controlling pollution.
Trafiroad at it again?
Niet dat ik je niet volg maar er zijn ook aanbevelingen:
Aanbevelingen voor veiligheid: Hoewel het wettelijk is toegestaan, pleiten organisaties zoals de Fietsersbond en experts op het gebied van verkeersveiligheid ervoor om op wegen zonder fysieke scheiding de maximumsnelheid te verlagen naar 30 km/u, tenzij de infrastructuur is aangepast. Het Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer hanteert ook het principe dat 50 km/u wenselijk is op wegen met een aanliggend fietspad, en 30 km/u zonder.

How is this the fault of TAAS?
This is just a consequence of the terrible urban planning in Belgium. The problem is that this road is also trying to be a street. You cannot design a road that is both good at moving large amounts of traffic fast and also provide access to shops and houses on the side. The Netherlands realized this 50-100 years ago and planned accordingly. This is something that we’ll probably never be able to fix in Belgium. Pick one, improve traffic flow or improve safety. When safety is prioritized, they should ideally redesign the road. Proper sidewalks, narrower lanes, less lanes, chicanes, … these kind of features automatically reduce driver speed.
A redesign is obviously expensive so as a ‘temporary’ solution is to use speed camera’s or trajectcontroles. So the reason they feel scammy is because the road was initially designed for 90km/h and now they’re enforcing 50km/h. That also perfectly explains why Belgium (or Flanders) is the densest area of speed cameras in the world.
It’s disappointing that we’re stuck with this mess of an urban fabric. Every day I’m still seeing new houses being built on N roads, which is exactly the issue. And I totally agree that it’s infuriating that you’re giving €40 to a private company so the spoiled brat can be arrogant on Instagram with his flashy color Urus that papá got him for his birthday, all because you were just cruising and doing 58km/h on a road that was designed for 90…
Money, tax disguised and missing off drivers in a futile and useless attempt to make them use public transports.
Also money under disguised so-called security
The speed was only reduced to 50 km/h within the urban area of Schepdaal, and let’s be honest it was about time they did that. The intersection at the tram museum has seen some bad accidents in the past, it’s quite dangerous there as to take a left turn you need to stop on the road while other traffic is whipping past you at 70 km/h from both sides. Plus there are barely sidewalks inside this section and no bike lanes, not even painted ones on the road!
Also all trajectcontroles within Dilbeek are financed and owned by the municipality itself, so no revenue going to Trafiroad here.
