Motorists in the Flanders region can now report bad
road conditions online. The regional agency for roads and traffic, together
with the association of Flemish cities and municipalities, last week
inaugurated a new website for complaints. The site, www.meldpuntwegen.be, has a database of
80,000 roads, each with a link to the authority responsible for its upkeep. The
site handles complaints about potholes, but also obstacles on the road,
signals, markings and roadside plants. Footpaths and cycle paths are also
covered, although the latter can also be reported direct to www.meldpuntfietspaden.be.
