Traffic in Roermond came to a standstill in several places on Thursday afternoon due to a large influx of German day trippers who visited the Designer Outlet.
The delay on the N280 at the border had been over an hour all day. It was also very busy at the intersection of the A73 towards the center.
Measures
The municipality had taken various measures to ensure that traffic runs smoothly. For example, there were many traffic controllers at the outlet and shortcuts in surrounding villages. For example in Boukoul and Asenray, where only local traffic was allowed.
Until Sunday
In addition, the municipality called on to stop visiting the city by car. Also in the coming days, because it is expected to remain busy until Sunday.
