At the intersection with the cycle path from Keizerinnedreef and Broekstraat, a lot of bright red paint was applied. In this way, the municipal council wants to make the traffic situation between cyclists and motorists safer.
The intersection does attract attention, and that is also the intention. “This is the crossing of the F29, which comes from Tervuren Park and heads towards Brussels, with the Leuvensesteenweg where many cars pass,” says Mobility Alderman Bram Peters (Green+). “To make the intersection of motorists and cyclists safer and to increase attention for all road users, we have installed a large colorful area. For cyclists coming from the direction of the playground, it is impossible to see or be seen by the cars. This is due to the presence of a park wall. It cannot be removed as it is a protected monument. Cyclists do not have priority, but we want to make the situation safer.” (Read more below the photo)

The promotion to sergeant of the Weiteveen local police officer a few weeks after the double murder causes bad blood among relatives of the shot dead Ineke (44) and Sam (38). The couple was murdered on January 16 by Richard K. (50), whose house they bought a year earlier.
“Unbelievable,” responds the father of the murdered daughter. “She could have saved lives. I think she should, just like her supervisor, be held accountable for the deaths of two young people, mind you: parents of two young children.”

Following a recent Arizona Supreme Court ruling that severely restricted abortion access, Harris made a strategic move to mobilize voters in Arizona, highlighting the upcoming election as a critical moment for women’s rights advocacy. This ruling, which harkened back to a 160-year-old law limiting abortion to cases where the mother’s life is at risk, was seen by Harris as a deliberate step towards curtailing abortion rights in the country.
Harris emphasized that the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was just the beginning of a larger plan to restrict abortion access, marking a significant turning point in the ongoing battle for reproductive rights.
Blame Game
During a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort, Trump proudly claimed credit for the erosion of Roe v. Wade, asserting that state-led abortion bans were a positive development. In response, Harris wasted no time in attributing the current state of affairs to Trump’s actions.
