The college of aldermen of Sint-Gillis-Waas has decided to abolish the right-hand priority on access roads in all sub-municipalities. This adjustment aims to make the traffic situation clearer and safer.

The change will be implemented gradually and per sub-area. An access road is a road that connects various residential streets and neighborhoods, directing traffic to larger roads.
Soon, the priority regulation in the sub-area of Sint-Pauwels will be adjusted at the intersections of Klapdorp with Heuldonk, Klapdorp with Ettingestraat, Klapdorp with Collemanstraat, and Lijkveldestraat with Collemanstraat. Traffic signs and road markings will clarify the new regulation at these intersections.
Priority regulations on access roads will also be adjusted step-by-step in other sub-areas. The municipality will communicate in advance when the next area is scheduled, ensuring residents are timely informed about changes in their neighborhood.
