Incidentally, this is not a new RWS policy. They remove everything that does not belong along the road anyway, especially if that can lead to dangerous situations. “It is therefore not a statement against the protests.” It will take a while before all the flags are actually gone. There are quite a lot of them, and RWS still has to carry out its regular activities. “They are not gone today or tomorrow, but we will start. Some flags are too high for us, so that has to be outsourced again.”
Province will hang flags along roads for the time being, Rijkswaterstaat will intervene
