Can a threshold be built on my street?

The municipality's policy is that as soon as major maintenance is carried out on a street, the existing layout of the road is reviewed. Any accidents that have occurred, actual speeds driven and the Sustainable Safety guidelines are taken into account. On this basis, the application of speed reduction measures will be considered. Of course, the city council makes the final decision on whether to implement the measures, and the financial resources must be sufficient.

Outside of maintenance work, expansion of speed reduction measures is only possible on a very limited scale. Only in situations of an urgent nature is it considered early on whether the road layout should be supplemented with a speed hump. The urgency here mainly consists of injury accidents.

On roads with a speed limit of 50 km/h or 80 km/h, no speed reduction measures are applied in principle.
