Residents of The Hague Open Their Own Hotline for Street Racers: 'We Hit a Wall'

NOS13 September · 14:011 week ago

Residents of the Houtwijk and Kraayenstein neighborhoods in The Hague have launched their own reporting website for intimidation and aggression due to ongoing street racing and noise disturbances. Despite repeated complaints, locals say municipal and police actions are insufficient. In May 2026, the city and police increased enforcement, issuing dozens of fines, and plan to install a speed camera on Escamplaan in Q2 2027. However, residents feel little has changed. In September 2026, 92 reports were filed, mostly about noise and rapid acceleration.
