Bruges also used such pitagones in the end of the year period. Knokke-Heist also did that with carnival. Kortrijk pays around 100,000 euros for security. “That is now a test phase. Then we will evaluate and perhaps we can use those gates during other events,” says Mayor Ruth Vandenberghe.
The pitagonones will now be used in busier places, such as Kortrijk Weide, the Veemarkt and the station. For example, there are concrete blocks in other places. Residents and commercial matters can collect a transit certificate.
