Huh. Surprising lack of Schengen violations here at the German - Dutch border. They should try that approach to busses and trains.
Also a surprising lack of a bike lane on the Dutch side of the border

@Pepijn In Low German (Plattdüütsch) 'Motacilla alba' is also called 'Wippsteert' (spelling may vary). There's even a folk band with this name.

@venite daarnaast is alleen een paal (3x dacht ik). Waarschijnlijk om de berm te beschermen. Dit ding ligt niet in de lijn van de palen.

@Pepijn I'm curious! Perhaps the maintenance of the sign must be done from a firm plateau?

Ooo, fun mystery!
My first guess, based on the size/shape of the opening, is accessing a pump for the canal. But I do not, personally, know of an appropriate cement for such an application without lift points in the plug.
The lid is likely required to meet a set of security requirements to prevent tampering, thus must be quite difficult to remove in an apparently remote location.
