Nevertheless, the behavior of motorists on Wakkerendijk remains the most important factor, Reijn believes. The bollards for the old rectory are part of a larger project to influence road behaviour. Last month, as a PR moment, the alderman received a crash course in ‘applying road lines’, when the municipality undertook a new attempt to curb traffic on the dike. Markings on the asphalt, extra signs and two narrowings at the Dikke Torentje were intended to make it clear to motorists that the dead straight road between the A1 and the village center of Eemnes is not a race track.
Road narrowing Wakkerendijk Eemnes is being adjusted after damage to cars: ‘You don’t expect bollards on the road, do you?’
