“Really bad for Boxmeer nowadays; hardly anyone following Maps drives like this”

“Still construction, also moved a few 100m like gbimbel—didn’t get a ride. Seems unsafe to get people to stop on the emergency lane as people use it. When construction is done, the bus station should be accessible again and this will return to being a good spot”
― Bob, Wed 2025-11-26 · Nijmegen
“due to the construction the spot isn't active as of summer '25, but 200m down the road works just as well”

“to Venlo you reach the place with the train (Nijmegen Dukenburg)”
