Olst-Wijhe’s plan to prevent traffic diversion failed after phone number was widely shared

Olst-Wijhe had devised a plan to prevent traffic diversion during works on the route between Deventer and Zwolle. The plan involved a barrier and a phone number, but the number was shared widely and did not remain secret as intended. This led to a traffic jam at the barrier, while vans with trailers had to turn around on a narrow road.
