Local authorities in the Netherlands are addressing speeding and safety concerns through various infrastructure and enforcement measures.

In the Baarn area, residents have campaigned for eight years to improve enforcement on the Amsterdamsestraatweg. Following measurements indicating approximately 10,000 daily speeding violations, an application for a speed camera has been submitted to the Public Prosecution Service, with potential operation by 2027.

In Wilnis, the municipality is redesigning the Burgemeester Padmosweg. To address poor road conditions and limited space, the speed limit will be reduced from 50 km/h to 30 km/h. The redesign will also involve relocating cyclists to the main roadway to allow for a new pedestrian sidewalk.
