How do I know if the municipality has issued a traffic ordinance?

Traffic decisions are published in the digital edition of the Government Gazette. This can be viewed via the website Official Notices. After publication, a traffic decision is available for public inspection for 6 weeks.

Through the website www.overheid.nl, you can receive an email when a traffic decision is published about a location near you.

  6. You will now see a map with a red dot at the address you entered
  7. You can specify the distance from the address you specify within which you want to receive notifications if a traffic decree or other decision has been published and then go to the next step. 
  8. Choose which government agency you want to receive notifications from. In the case of traffic orders, not only the municipality is authorized to make traffic orders. Then go to the next step.
