This sign when you enter the village of Odoorn tells that they have a WhatsApp Neighbourhood Watch. Villagers who see a suspicious situation or person, call the emergency number 112 first and then send a message to the whatsapp group members.
I'm linking to signs, signs.
Update: the round sign means that the bicycle path ends here and cyclists should continue on the road 😀
...what's whatsapp?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGeen fiets op het fietspad kende ik nog niet.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNo bicycles?? Are you sure it's the Netherlands? ;-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDit is echt een "Sign of the time"!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat? No bikes? That sure seems suspicious. :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHow quickly technology has been used in this village! A very good idea & sign find!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWe have similar neighborhood watches but I don't think we have such signs. Maybe not a bad idea, although, sometimes "suspicious" people turn out to be my neighbors! :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNot that different from neighbourhood watches here.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWe have a similar neigboorhood watch WhatApp group. It works; today's technology is brilliant!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA village that holds along with discipline and order. Respectable.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI have not heard that we would have the same (and I don't think it is even possible.. :)
Neighborhood watch is used here. I don't know about the WhatApp but that sounds good too.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you for your explanation. I thought this town was against bicycles. A security app might work.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGood idea!
BeantwoordenVerwijderensounds good idea !
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSounds like a speedy and efficient way to report suspicious behaviour Marleen.. I see all the 'what no bikes' jokes have been made already 😀😀
BeantwoordenVerwijderenInteresting sign. Good idea about whatsapp too
