A week ago things go wrong on the roundabout at the Van Cleeffkade. A 93-year-old cyclist gets seriously injured there With a collision with a bus. At four of the five roundabouts on the Burgemeester Kasteleinweg, the bus lane runs in the middle of the roundabout, which is experienced as problematic by road users.
Call for measures
It is the umpteenth accident on one of the roundabouts, so the call for measures is great. NH spoke earlier with a number of Aalsmeerders that is seriously worried. Jan Koster was also seriously injured when he hit a bus with his bike. “There is talk around it,” he says. “They have known what is going on for a long time. Experts will look at it and then again. When they are wise, they do something about it.”
Neighbor of the roundabout on the Dorpsstraat Monique de Haas agrees stirring. “Continuing and stopping that madness,” she says. Since the construction of the roundabouts in 2021, Monique has regularly provided first aid to traffic victims.
