Tempo 30 for the Osterdeich: Advisory boards are calling for more security!

Osterdeich, Bremen, Deutschland - in Bremen, traffic safety is increasingly becoming the focus of the public discussion. The introduction of Tempo 30 zones in particular ensures movement in the districts. The advisory boards are currently working for a comprehensive speed reduction, including on the Oberneulander Landstrasse and the Osterdeich.

like the Weser-Kurier , the traffic senator has reported Özlem ünsal (SPD) at the beginning of June announced the establishment of a continuous speed 30 zone on Oberneulander Landstrasse. This measure is implemented as part of a revised road traffic regulations, which gives the municipalities more scope when setting up such zones. The measure is particularly important because the Oberneulander Landstraße serves as a Hauptschulweg for many children. The advisory board Oberneuland had already unanimously decided on February 25, 2025 to request this Tempo 30 regulation in order to increase security on the way to school.

problematic traffic situations

The current situation on Oberneulander Landstrasse is critical: foot and cycle paths are often in poor condition, and there are no safe crossing options such as crosswalks or traffic lights. This is in particular the children who use this way to school every day. The advisory board emphasizes that narrow and damaged sidewalks also pose a high risk. Despite numerous appeals after more security, the argument has often been rejected in the past that not enough accidents could not be detected. However, this now seems to promote rethinking.

The demand for Tempo 30 does not end at the borders of the Oberneulander Landstrasse. On the Easter dike, another heavily frequented traffic route, the Mitte advisory board has spoken out for a comprehensive speed 30 zone. The unclear speed zones are pointed out, which recover security risks, especially for pedestrians and cyclists. The mobility committee has already submitted an application for the introduction of km/h for the night times between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. on the Hastedter Osterdeich and in the area of ​​the Easter dike, but met with rejection, since the existing speed regime should be preserved during the day.

uniform regulations required

As Hynek Adebar notes from the left, the various advisory boards must work together to enforce clear and uniform regulations. Safety problems are not only addressed in the crossings at the Easter dike, but also the defective traffic light system on Mozartstraße contains the traffic situation. It is also required that construction site lights are set up and crossing aids are improved in order to make pedestrians more secure. The ASV (Office for Roads and Transport) has not yet seen the crossing points as dangerous and is only planning changes after the wheel premium route.

In summary, it can be said that the initiatives for the introduction of Tempo 30 zones not only serve to calm traffic, but are also crucial for improving the quality of life in the affected areas. Factors such as lower noise emissions and more security are discussed in the upcoming measures. The next steps now lie with the responsible authorities to finally ensure more security on Bremen's streets.
