Local residents said in December that things are going wrong more often in the bend that is intended to slow the traffic. Mayor Mark van Stappershoef then announced that the municipality was going to take a good look at the traffic situation: “Depending on that, we decide whether the KEI will last and whether other measures are needed.”
The Kei has a symbolic meaning for the village; Riel is known as a ‘KaaiGole’ during carnival.
