After years of discussion, the traffic-calmed center of Heerde is close by: ‘Rather right the first time, than twice half’ | Heerde

Whether they are municipal councilors, residents, catering entrepreneurs or tourists: they have been arguing for a traffic-calmed center for years. ‘If necessary, you can only introduce this measure during busy days of the summer season,’ they believe. During such periods, according to shopkeepers, traffic creates ‘life-threatening situations’ in the village’s ‘business card’. Cars in the streets do not invite you to sit on a terrace, says Heerde.
