Beveren is A traffic light at the intersection of the Verheyenplein and the Verrebroekstraat depends currently it is very dangerous to dangle. It was light with tape attached to the pole after it was previously hit by a stalling pneumatic truck.
In the municipal council Bo Vaerenbergh (VB) are concerns expressed about the situation. “The light just depends on what tape. Also the pole is completely skewed by the collision. It is here to a crossroads in the centre of the head office in verebroek where a lot of people pass. If the light is suddenly going to fall, there is a risk that a pedestrian is hit.”
Ships of Public Works Raf Van Roeyen (CD&V) is aware of the dangerous situation. “We have now passed on to the relevant services of the Flemish region. In the long term, they want to obsolete traffic signals at this intersection to replace it anyway but we are asking that in the interim, it first repairs happen, of course.”
