FDP fights for speed 50: Borgfeld defends itself against speed limit!

Borgfeld, Deutschland - in Borgfeld it is bubbling: the question of a speed limit on Heerstrasse divides the mind. Today, the Advisory Board Borgfeld received tailwind from the Bremen citizenship, since the FDP is clear against a speed limit to 30 km/h. Fynn Voigt, the FDP spokesman for construction and traffic, rejects the lowering of the speed limit and emphasizes the importance of capturing the existing limit of 50 km/h. The advisory board voted with a majority for this decision, which is based on careful consideration of all relevant interests in the district. "The traffic authority has to take this decision seriously," Voigt demands and sees the risk of alternative traffic to quieter residential areas if the speed limit is actually reduced. The residents also worry about their health, which is why the discussion about the speed limit not only affects traffic safety, but also the well -being of the citizens in the district.

But what is behind this dispute? Overall, Bremen plans to limit the top speed on other streets - including Borgfelder Heerstrasse - to 30 km/h for reasons of noise protection. So far, over 700 sections in Bremen have already been shown as Tempo 30 zones, be it continuously or limited in time. The Bremen traffic authority sees such a measure as necessary because noise levels can have a significant impact on the health of residents.

The relevance of traffic safety

The requirements for a temporation are clearly regulated. According to the requirements, affected roads must lie in the side road network, represent the focal points of the accident or are located near facilities worth protecting such as daycare centers or retirement homes. A comprehensive speed limit is also recommended for streets in the surrounding neighborhood. With a speed reduction, noise levels can drop up to 2.6 decibels, which could be a significant improvement for the residents.

The road traffic authority also considered further traffic calming measures, such as the creation of one -way streets, bollards or specific road narrowing. These measures can not only reduce the speed of the vehicles, but also ensure that traffic safety is increased. However, the effectiveness of these measures and a qualified danger situation must always be checked.

part of the larger initiative

Another aspect is the broad initiative of over 1,000 cities and municipalities that occur for a nationwide regular speed of 30 km/h in inner -city areas. This measure should not only contribute to noise reduction, but also to increase general traffic safety. An advance that finds more and more support in the citizens and among the residents. This discussion is also passionately conducted in Borgfeld, which often leads to sharp word battles.

Borger and trader in Borgfeld are now excited to see how the Supreme Traffic Authority in Bremen will decide. Will you follow the call of the advisory board to reject the speed limit and protect the health of the residents, or does the city remain in your plan to introduce Tempo 30? One thing is certain: the discussion is far from over.
