Pilot Program for Safer Traffic Conditions

To improve traffic safety around De Bloktempel Elementary School, we will begin a temporary two-month traffic trial after the fall break. 

In consultation with the school, the traffic working group, and the police, a new traffic plan has been developed for Amerikalaan and IJssellaan. A temporary one-way traffic pattern will be implemented during school drop-off and pick-up times. The goal is to improve traffic safety for children and reduce traffic congestion. This measure applies only on school days between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and between 2:30 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. 

The new traffic configuration will be indicated by traffic signs. The trial will begin after the signs are delivered, on October 26 or November 2, and will run through December 18.
 

After the trial ends, local residents, business owners, and the school will be asked about their experiences. These responses will be included in the evaluation. Based on that, a decision will be made in early 2027 on whether and how the measure will be continued.
