The province has announced that according to measurements, the speed of the tram does not affect the noise, but how the tram ‘accelerates’ and ‘rolls out’. Ikkersheim: “You can hear the difference right away. Sometimes the tram moves more slowly here, because people are still crossing the road, for example. Then you hear the difference. For two years now, they have been saying that drivers are addressed about driving, but that the speed is permanently reduced. they don’t want to.” The province says that agreements are being made with the carrier about the driving behavior of tram drivers in certain bends.
