Following Germany’s reintroduction of border controls, the N35 near Enschede has seen a significant rise in truck traffic, with an increase of about 2,000 trucks per work week. This has raised concerns over safety and traffic flow, as the N35 has a history of accidents. Local officials are advocating for immediate safety measures, including the installation of guardrails and a grade-separated intersection to improve the road’s capacity and safety for the increasing number of vehicles.
