Drivers ignore the red cross, they face the reason from the cross

Sometimes you may have the impression that the red cross could only deal with one matrix symbol (although Rijkswaterstaat will probably have a good reason for this), but in general the routes are closed for a reason. Several drivers found out the hard way yesterday.

On the A15 at the Benelux junction, Rijkswaterstaat showed a red cross because there was an asphalt tile on the road. Several drivers found the red cross a bit exaggerated and still used the route. Soon they were on the emergency lane inspecting the damage to their cars.

Rijkswaterstaat would prefer to leave them alone

Rijkswaterstaat is also tired of people ignoring the crosses: ‘We’ve considered leaving it for a week,’ Rijkswaterstaat says on Twitter. But they are encouraging: ‘A rescue company is on the way.’ It must be a large sidewalk tile, by the way.

It is not known exactly how many cars, but we see at least Toyota Avensis and Volkswagen Golf. The police have also been notified, so on top of the cost of repairs, there is a possibility of a fine of €260. At least they have the picture below as a reference.
