Surveillance and traffic monitoring expansions in De Haan and the Netherlands
In Belgium, the De Haan municipal council has approved an investment of over 500,000 euros to establish a new camera network. The project includes approximately 40 cameras across 14 locations, featuring four Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) units. The system, which will be monitored by the Bredene-De Haan police zone, is scheduled for installation in early 2027 and is expected to be fully operational by spring 2027.
In the Netherlands, the Province is deploying immediate traffic monitoring cameras at the Kelperbrug (N280) and the Julianakanaal bridge at Roosteren (N296). These cameras are intended to monitor compliance with heavy vehicle bans designed to prevent structural damage to the bridges. The cameras are not speed enforcement tools but will record footage for use in police reports and incident investigations.
Additionally, recent data from the CJIB shows a significant rise in traffic violations in the Netherlands. Fines for mobile phone use while driving or cycling increased by 56.2 percent, rising from 79,329 to 123,930. Specific regions, including Borger-Odoorn, Veendam, and Stadskanaal, reported hundreds of violations captured by focus cameras during the summer months.
