Afrikaweg becomes city street

Afrikaweg is changing from a through traffic road into a pleasant city street where cars drive slower and where people, live, work, move and stay. The 2 sides of the Afrikaweg will be connected and there will be room for liveliness on both sides of the street.

Pedestrians can cross the Afrikaweg at ground level in 2 places.

The speed limit on the Afrikaweg will go down from 70 to 50 km/h. Buses will have their own bus lane. Clear bike lanes will be provided along the city street. For pedestrians, there will be wide sidewalks and 2 level crossings across Afrikaweg. Cyclists can use the 3 existing underpasses. In this way, Meerzicht and Driemanspolder will be connected for slow traffic via an attractive and socially safe area.

Vehicular access to the new neighborhood will be via Bredewater and Boerhaavelaan.

Moreover, in Entrance, there is a strong commitment to reducing car use by encouraging the use of public transportation, cycling and travel on foot. A good connection from the station to downtown will be constructed along the city street.
