More traffic campaigns for the elderly: “over-sixties with e-bikes more often victims”

Cyclists and people over sixty with an e-bike are also more frequently identified as target groups. This is evident from figures that Governor Decaluwé himself keeps meticulously. He presented them to the provincial council.

“Unfortunately, this year, and we are only October, already 58 fatal traffic accidents. And that is more than in the year 2019, 2020 or 2021. So that is not good. That is just bad.”

“That’s why we try to respond more quickly. We also see certain target groups coming out. Cyclists, people over sixty with the e-bike, they are coming in more and more. Speed ​​pedelecs too. So we have to pay attention to that and We can also tailor our awareness campaigns accordingly.”
