Fixed border controls along the E40 stop in Adinkerke

Due to the checks, there were often long traffic jams at the border crossing. There were also accidents, with two fatalities in June. Due to customs control, traffic had to cross the border via the parking lot.

Mayor Bram Degrieck (De Panne): “The checkpoint at the border crossing on the E40 has finally been lifted. For months on end, all traffic on the E40 had to drive towards the parking lot of the “aire des Moëres”. effective checks were also carried out, resulting in endless traffic jams on Belgian territory.In these traffic jams, accidents occurred with the regularity of the clock, with the sad highlight of an accident in which two people lost their lives when they collided with a truck in the back of the traffic jam. repeatedly sounded the alarm about the missing traffic jam signaling on Belgian territory, fortunately the Flemish Region did take action after the fatal accident and clear traffic signaling was installed. I am glad that this misery is finally and literally over.”
