Het is algemeen bekend dat het instellen van een 30 km\/u-zone door simpelweg een bord te plaatsen niet voldoende is; je moet ook de weg opnieuw ontwerpen. Anders werkt het niet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Wetenschappers willen ook nagaan of een maatregel die Belgische automobilisten ertoe aanzet om langzamer te rijden, hetzelfde effect zou hebben in <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Kroati\u00eb of Zweden<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">. Het gezamenlijke onderzoek naar wegontwerp en rijgedrag maakt deel uit van het Europese TwinSAFE-project, waarin de Universiteit van Hasselt samenwerkt met de Universiteit van Zagreb en de Universiteit van Lund.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Ze zijn nu op zoek naar proefpersonen die bereid zijn om in een rijsimulator verschillende verkeerssituaties te ervaren.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Deelnemers moeten minimaal 18 jaar oud zijn en in het bezit zijn van een geldig rijbewijs van categorie B. Personen die lijden aan epilepsie, migraine, reisziekte of een hersenschudding, dienen af te zien van deelname.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Culturele verschillen?<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">TwinSAFE heeft tot doel het onderzoek naar verkeersveiligheid in Europa te versterken door kennis en onderzoekservaringen tussen de drie universiteiten uit te wisselen. Dit sluit aan bij een bredere Europese ambitie: de EU streeft ernaar het aantal verkeersdoden en ernstig gewonden tegen 2030 met 50 procent te verminderen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Alle drie de landen testen dezelfde scenario's, aangepast aan de lokale omstandigheden. Hierdoor kunnen de testresultaten rechtstreeks met elkaar worden vergeleken.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">\u201cUiteindelijk willen we kunnen vaststellen of een bepaalde maatregel overal werkt, of dat er in feite toch culturele verschillen zijn\u201d, zegt Ali Pirdavani van de Universiteit van Hasselt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">\u201cWe gebruiken een rijsimulator om de veiligheid te waarborgen. We vergelijken het rijgedrag in een bepaalde situatie \u2013 eerst zonder dat er een specifieke maatregel is getroffen, en vervolgens wel. Als de maatregel effectief blijkt te zijn, testen we het scenario vervolgens op de echte weg.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Alle proefpersonen in de simulator maken precies dezelfde verkeerssituatie mee. Hierdoor is een betrouwbare vergelijking van de resultaten mogelijk.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Soortgelijk wetenschappelijk onderzoek<\/h4>\n<p>In 2025, <span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">De Universiteit van Hasselt heeft soortgelijk wetenschappelijk onderzoek met concrete resultaten gepubliceerd. Bovendien bevestigen veldstudies uit Nederland, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en de Verenigde Staten dat een snelheidsbord op zich doorgaans niet voldoende is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Zo ontdekten onderzoekers bijvoorbeeld dat een rij bomen langs de weg geen significant effect had, dat automobilisten de neiging hadden om langzamer te gaan rijden wanneer ze dwars over de weg aangebrachte wegmarkeringen tegenkwamen, en dat deze markeringen \u2013 in combinatie met een fysieke versmalling van de weg \u2013 de beste balans opleverden tussen snelheid en beheerst rijgedrag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Op een bochtige weg of in een chicane constateerden de onderzoekers het sterkste remeffect, maar soms ook abrupt remmen of uitwijkmanoeuvres, gevolgd door opnieuw optrekken. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Een andere opmerkelijke conclusie was dat een maatregel aan de dorpsgrens niet volstaat om het rijgedrag in het hele dorp te veranderen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Andere Europese landen<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Uit recent Nederlands onderzoek van SWOV uit mei 2026 naar het effect van een verlaging van de maximumsnelheid van 50 naar 30 km\/u bleek dat de gemiddelde daadwerkelijke rijsnelheid 35,3 km\/u bedroeg; zonder aanpassing van de weg bedroeg de snelheidsdaling slechts 2 km\/u, terwijl deze met een aanpassing ongeveer 5,5 km\/u bedroeg.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Britse onderzoekers hebben het effect van maatregelen bij de ingangen van dorpen onderzocht, maar stelden vast dat de snelheidsbeheersing binnen het dorp zelf zonder aanvullende maatregelen beperkt bleef.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Het Franse overheidsinstituut Cerema heeft vastgesteld dat wegverschuivingen bestuurders fysiek dwingen hun snelheid aan te passen. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">De Amerikaanse FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) stelde vast dat snelheidsborden, verhoogde platforms en middenbermen bijzonder effectief waren. Puur visuele wegversmallingen of op de weg aangebrachte waarschuwingen hadden over het algemeen weinig effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Richtlijnen<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Vlaanderen beschikt echter al over richtlijnen voor het ontwerpen van een overgang naar een lagere snelheid \u2013 met name een zijdelingse verschuiving van het trac\u00e9 in combinatie met een middenberm \u2013 om bestuurders duidelijk te maken dat ze een andere verkeersomgeving binnenrijden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">De belangrijkste les die uit verschillende landen kan worden getrokken, is dat de ingang van een dorp niet alleen als zodanig herkenbaar moet zijn; het gehele wegontwerp moet ook zijn afgestemd op de gewenste snelheid. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Een breed, recht en open stuk asfalt zal automobilisten altijd uitnodigen om te hard te rijden, zelfs als de offici\u00eble maximumsnelheid 30 km\/u is.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers\u00a0at IMOB, the Institute for Mobility at UHasselt University, want to understand how road design can cause drivers to slow down.
