Utrecht prepares for summer holidays, but 'big rush is yet to come'

Camping De Boomgaard in Bunnik is gradually filling up with holidaymakers, though the peak is expected after schools close on Friday. The campsite owner notes that more Dutch people are choosing to stay in the Netherlands due to warm weather. At a storage facility in Maarssen, preparations are underway for a mass exodus: most campers and caravans are being picked up on Monday and Tuesday.

Scan car in Maastricht also fines caravans

In Maastricht, automated scan cars issue penalty assessments not only for unpaid parking of cars but also for caravans. The Maastricht van NU party has received complaints and wants the rules reviewed, proposing an exemption for caravans, folding trailers and campers. Politician Jo Smeets noted that caravan owners cannot obtain a parking permit because trailers often have a different license plate, and even if the plate matches but the caravan is not attached to the car, separate payment is required. The party suggests allowing free parking of a caravan in front of a home for up to three days.

Four fines issued during holiday traffic check on A2 near Elsloo

Dutch police fined four drivers during a holiday traffic check on the A2 motorway near Elsloo last Saturday. The check targeted caravans, trailers, folding campers and motorhomes. All vehicles were weighed and inspected for compliance with legal requirements. Three drivers were fined for speeding, one for a defective breakaway brake system (losbreekreminrichting). Another driver was found with a fake driving licence; his car contained stolen copper, both the car and the copper were seized. Warnings were also issued for overloading, failure to produce a registration certificate, an insufficiently visible licence plate and worn caravan tyres. The fire service was present, checking the safety of fire extinguishers and gas cylinders in caravans and motorhomes.
