Vandromme therefore argues for more dynamic highway lighting, a system in which lights take on in bad weather, accidents or road works. “In Flanders that is applied to 50 percent, but only 8 percent in West Flanders. That is something I want to sue,” she says. “It is not possible that we have less safe traffic conditions in West Flanders. If you enter the province, you will come to the darkest region of Flanders. The light apparently goes out here.”

She calls on the Flemish government to expand the use of dynamic lighting and thus increase road safety in West Flanders.
