Flanders (Brussels Morning Newspaper): Flanders has 264 unsafe road spots, with Antwerp having the most at 127. Flemish Minister Annick De Ridder emphasizes road safety improvements, as 110 spots are fixed and 44 more are planned.
Flanders has a list of unsafe road spots that is updated every year based on accidents. This year, there are 264 places on the list, which is less than in the past. So far, 110 spots have been fixed, and work is happening or planned for 44 more. The list helps find areas where the road design may cause accidents, not just driver mistakes.
What steps are being taken to address Antwerp’s 127 dangerous road spots?
It has been said that Antwerp has the most dangerous road spots, with 127 places. East Flanders has 62, and West Flanders has 29. Limburg and Flemish Brabant each have 23 spots that need quick fixes. Most of these dangerous areas are in cities where there isn’t much space, and Antwerp’s busy streets make driving more risky.
AWV fixes one dangerous road spot every six days and has already tackled 399 spots. New dangerous areas keep appearing each year. Flemish Minister Annick De Ridder says that improving roads is important for safety and will use a new list to find out where fixes are needed.
