A12 Blockage: Navigating Den Haag Amidst Climate Activism
A12 Blockage Details
DEN HAAG - Extinction Rebellion (XR) plans to block the A12 again starting at noon, aiming for the largest occupation yet. As this occurs, police are expected to strike, causing major disruptions.
Alternative Routes
The municipality of Den Haag anticipates heavy traffic and suggests parking at P+R locations around the city. Here are some routes you can take to enter and exit:
- West Side: Use the N44 towards Wassenaar and Leiden. The Rijswijk exit on the A4 also leads into Den Haag.
- Northeast Side: From the A4, take the Leidschendam exit, then continue via N14, or take N44 for direct city access.
- South Side: For access from the south, exit the A4 at Den Haag Zuid, following the N211 into the city.
Additional Context
Activists from Extinction Rebellion announced this blockage on July 14, aiming to end government subsidies for fossil fuels. Coincidentally, police will also be on strike, as officers seek better retirement conditions. This demonstration aligns with other events in the city, such as De Ooievaarsrun and Open Monumentendag, further complicating the situation.
