Sound barriers being installed along a road which is being widened in Assen.
The road is being widened from 1 lane each way to 2 lanes each way. Even though the road will have only a 70 km/h speed limit (44 mph), the problem of noise from roads is thought to be serious enough that the sound needs to be stopped.
Note the scale of these barriers. They're substantial concrete at least 3 m tall, with occasional see through plastic panels to be added later.
