Take it easy! Here at Zoetermeer there will be route control

Soon it will be blown on the A12 between Nootdorp and Zoetermeer: ​​there will be route control. This means that during the day you can drive home at a maximum of 100 kilometers per hour from the Prins Clausplein. If you go faster, you can expect a traffic fine.

Many Zoetermeerse motorists already saw the shower hanging when they recently saw road authorities busy building the installations above the road. They emailed Indebuurt asking if there will be route control at Zoetermeer. In the meantime, the answer is known: yes, it comes.

Calmly

The cameras hang and the system is still in the test phase. The measuring points are between Nootdorp and Zoetermeer, in both driving directions. The plan is to start the speed controls in the fall, according to Ad Zoetermeer. You can drive a maximum of 100 kilometers per hour between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. A maximum speed of 130 kilometers per hour applies between 7 pm and 6 am. That is no different now, the only difference is that the Public Prosecution Service will soon check. There are trajectory controls seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

Hard and slow makes no sense

Trajectory control ensures according to the government For more road safety and better flow. The system also saves the environment. The cameras do not register the speed at one point, but determine the average speed over a longer distance. They hang on several measuring points along the road. The time that the vehicle takes between two measuring points indicates how fast was driven. Is that harder than the maximum speed? Then you will be fined.

Road users can never get more than one ticket during a route control with multiple sections. The ticket is only for the highest violation.
