Deputy director Joyce Draijer confirms the stories of the boys. “We even had a collision with a student last year where an ambulance had to be involved. The village has been growing fast for years, but the development of the road network seems to be lagging behind it.”
Many of the parents of the hundreds of students are also worried. One of them is Rob Mollien: “I don’t just let my child go to school alone with what the situation is now. And that is a shame, because there were all kinds of measures devised by the school and by parents that the municipality could get started with. Red-light detection, one Kiss and Ridechanging the bus times. It is all ready, but something has to be done with it. “
Main road right past school
The crowds are the result of several factors, says Draijer: “In the morning it is busier anyway, because of all the people on the road. And then the children come to school, on the bike, walking and a lot with the car. We can’t all lose that around our buildings at the same time. Certainly not since there is a busy road right past our main building.”
