Traffic controller appointment

What is it?

At events, traffic controllers ensure that traffic can flow properly. For example, at parades, music festivals and demonstrations.

You are not allowed to work as a traffic controller just like that. You must be appointed by the municipality.

Via the website of Stichting Verkeersregelaars Nederland you can register your event. After the municipality has approved your event, an online e-learning can be followed by the persons who will be deployed as traffic controllers. The municipality receives a message when this is completed and the traffic controllers are then appointed by the mayor.

Requirements to become an event traffic controller include:

• You are 16 years of age or older;
• You have completed the online instruction;
• You took the instruction no later than 12 months ago.
