This truck obstacle was to prevent (German) armored vehicles and tanks from passing the inundations over the high Schalmdijk.

You are standing here at a renovated tank barrier. This chariot obstacle was to prevent (German) armored vehicles and tanks from passing the inundations over the high Schalmdijk. The blockade was part of a series of measures taken in the Grebbe line near Renswoude to close off the roads to the west. Because it remained uncertain for a long time whether the area on both sides of the road could be flooded, the Dutch army had tank ditches dug that formed an almost continuous obstacle against vehicles.
