Meer dan 20 gele borden op de Magere Brug: kan dat niet anders? 18.04.2026

Over two dozen yellow warning signs have been placed on the Magere Brug in Amsterdam's city center, much to the dismay of locals and tourists alike, who deem them an unsightly obstruction. These 23 signs are intended to inform cyclists that their bikes will be removed in preparation for the May 5th concert held near the bridge, a requirement for advance notification by the municipality. However, passersby and even local political leader Rogier Havelaars of the CDA fraction criticize the excessive number and placement of the signs, suggesting that fewer, more subtly positioned signs would suffice and improve the visual appeal of the iconic "skinny bridge." Havelaars plans to investigate the regulations during the political recess to explore alternative solutions for such announcements.
