Guest parent Mariëtte crosses the dangerous N-road with children: ‘Parents sign contract’

As a resident of Mariënheem, you are taught from an early age: watch out for the dangerous N35, the national road that literally splits the village in Overijssel in two. For thirty years there has been talk of a ring road as a solution. Minister Harbers recently put an end to that.
