On Monday, May 4, 2026, the Netherlands observed National Remembrance Day, with a two‑minute moment of silence at 8:00 p.m. Dutch water authority Rijkswaterstaat urged motorists who wished to observe the commemoration to locate a safe parking spot well in advance. Electronic road signs displayed the message “Safe remembrance? Find a parking spot. No stopping on the shoulder!” Stopping on the shoulder is prohibited and poses serious safety risks. Drivers should not use the shoulder to stop or merge onto the highway, as it could create hazardous situations for high‑speed traffic and obstruct emergency services. Rijkswaterstaat’s reminder aims to keep the shoulder clear for emergency vehicles.
