The beautiful weather has prompted many people to go out and enjoy the outdoors. It has been exceptionally busy on the various beaches and the boulevards of Scheveningen. Even the parking lot at Noordwijk beach is now full, the municipality reports. 

The parking spaces at the Posbank are also full."To prevent dangerous situations, we, therefore, close the Posbank to motorized traffic", the municipality of Rheden said.
