In 2017, about 1,000 offenders were fined. Rijkswaterstaat expects the number of fines to increase further in the coming years.
Time Gain
"There are more accidents and incidents on the road, and some can not resist the temptation to save time compared to other road users. ", said a spokesman for Rijkswaterstaat.
The number of road inspectors is doubled and increased to one hundred to deal with offenders.
The offenses were detected by the stewards themselves; The 3,000 cameras on the motorway network serve only to visualize the current traffic situation.
"Pure misconduct"
Persons arrested for ignoring the crosses will be fined 230 EUR.
Minister Cora van Nieuwenhuizen (Infrastructure and Public Works) pleads in the De Telegraaf case for a harsh approach. Ignoring a red cross is, according to her, a "pure fault" and a breach of road safety.
