- the VNG model (art. 5:6) prohibits more than THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS, but ONLY on the roads the municipality has expressly designated
- many municipalities invert the wording of the model: no extrapolation from one to another is possible
NO national rule since the WOR was repealed on 1-1-2008. Each municipality decides in its APV; the VNG model is art. 5:6 · verified on 2026-08-08
