A spokesperson confirms reporting from RTL News about this. The road manager made camera images prior to the festival and afterwards. The first estimate would show that around thirty hectometre posts and a speed sign 100 have disappeared. The final balance is still being made.

There are also videos on social media on which people pose with a speed sign 80. That is then taken by security.
On A10, traffic signs cost thousands of euros
A hectometer pole quickly costs 400 to 500 euros. The bill for all disappeared traffic signs goes to the municipality of Amsterdam. That was already agreed in advance, says the spokesperson. The evaluation of the total damage is expected in mid -August.
Police ‘very satisfied’ about the course Festival on the Ring, two arrests
Rijkswaterstaat itself also knows that the hectometre posts are a nice souvenir. The twenty wedding couples who said yes on Saturday at the ‘wedding ring’ received one as a special wedding gift. They were specially made for the occasion, and not picked from the roadside, according to the spokesperson.
It will take a few weeks before all the plates and posts have been replaced.
