From next year there will be two new routes with route in our country. It is a section control on the E40 between Sint-Stevens-Woluwe and Heverlee, and the E313 Antwerp between East and Ranst. That Flemish Minister for Mobility Ben Weyts reported Friday.
“Section control works. The system ensures lasting positive effects on driving, fewer accidents and more safety”, says Weyts. He refers in particular to the route on the E40 between Erpe-Mere and Wetteren, where since the introduction of the zone no fatality has more cases. The number of accidents have decreased by 43 percent.
The choice of routes came after a recommendation of a special task force, which was looking for routes where speed causes a lot of injuries. “These two sections are very risk-sensitive. We want to remedy with average speed,” said Weyts. The minister has 365,000 euros available to put the new speed checks in the market. Next year they are operational.
Last year, claimed the Flemish traffic 400 lives.
