New nodes are added, others disappear. With one goal: safer and more fun cycling, with more attention to experience. Martijn De Potter, Westtoer employee: “We replace some signs completely and then we have to install a new post. Sometimes we use existing posts from the municipality, or we sticker old signs to reuse them.”
Hussar work
Westtoer started a tough job in Hooglede this week. About 6,000 bicycle network signs need to be replaced, spread throughout the province. The junctions are being renovated to make cycling safer and more fun. Véronique Victor, Westtoer Recreation Team Manager: “We do this once every ten years because a lot changes on the site during that period. The municipalities have built new cycle paths, new cycle bridges, etc. We ensure that all this new infrastructure is included in the network. In recent years we have also invested in additional experiences: nice picnic spots, viewpoints… So we also try to include as many of these in the network as possible. to record.”
