Traffic lights at the Rembertiring: Raters endanger pedestrians and school children!

Traffic lights at the Rembertiring: Raters endanger pedestrians and school children!

Mitte, Deutschland - in Bremen, Raser and Poser at the traffic light system on the Fedelhohren ensure concerned faces and sometimes dangerous situations. Werner Sünkenberg, a gallery owner at the Rembertiring, keeps observing how the leaders of these fast vehicles disregard the traffic rules. The memories of two accidents that happened in the same place are very fresh: one passed on Pentecost Sunday at 5 a.m., the other on June 28 at around 2:20 a.m. Both times the vehicles slammed into the first traffic light on the pedestrian crossing and even damaged a close tree. An alarm sign from Sünkenberg!

Dirk Paulmann, district parliamentarian of the CDU, agrees with Sünkenberg and clearly expresses his concerns about safety for pedestrians, especially for children. "We have to act", he sums up his demand for measures such as a guardrail or an inpatient speed speedster. Andrea Voth, spokeswoman for the Roads and Transport Office (ASV), does not evade the topic and reports of fast repairs that were made according to the accidents.

Investigations and traffic monitoring

The police have not lost sight of the matter and is currently investigating the cause of the accident. It is interesting that there were various complaints about frenzy in the first quarter of 2023, while in the first half of the year there were already focus on the control of red light and speed violations at the Rembertiring. At this point it should be noted that inpatient speed measurement is not possible due to the local conditions. An advisory board once advised about a red light speedster, but the implementation failed to materialize because there was no noteworthy reporting.

A worrying signal sends Paulmann into the round: "It could only be necessary to take measures to take measures." In the meantime, the situation at the antique business has apparently been a bit relaxed because the false parking was contained. In a wider context you can see that the Poser scene in other areas of Bremen, such as the Überseestadt and on the Sielwall, has become calmer.

traffic safety under the magnifying glass

How important the topic of traffic safety is, also shows the general development in Germany. Road traffic safety aims to avoid accidents and minimize their consequences by focusing on the system from the street, vehicle and man. Active and passive security, i.e. the equipment of vehicles and roads to protect road users, plays a central role here. Traffic psychologists explain that the "Poser and Raserszen" often lives in its own "parallel world", which reinforces the dangers in road traffic. Traffic safety programs that were launched in the 1970s have now supported the decline in racing dead in Germany since 1970. A success that needs to be preserved!
