Safety revolution: 30 km/h speed limit and short-term parking zone on Hochstiftsweg!

Something important is happening in the quiet corner of Hochstiftsweg in Bogenhausen: at the request of the CSU parliamentary group, there will soon be a 30 km/h zone that will calm the flow of traffic and increase safety, especially for children. The application was signed by state parliament member Robert Brannekämper and city councilor Jens Luther and is fully supported by the mobility department.

The reasons for this measure are convincing. Hochstiftsweg acts as a narrow, heavily frequented residential street, which becomes more important thanks to the nearby Hochstiftsweg daycare center, whose address is number 15. Parents often travel with their children here, and the current traffic system without speed limits poses a significant safety risk. Illegal parking and confusing traffic situations are currently the order of the day, which further endangers safety.

Expansion of the short-term parking zone

In addition to the speed limit, a short-term parking zone should be set up to better organize pick-up and drop-off traffic to the daycare center. The mobility department plans to introduce a short-term parking area with four parking spaces that allow parking for 30 minutes. This is intended to help parents deliver their children safely and at the same time help to minimize traffic chaos in front of the daycare center.

The advantages of 30 km/h zones should not be underestimated. They not only ensure greater safety for pedestrians and cyclists, but also make a significant contribution to improving the quality of life in residential areas by reducing noise emissions and exhaust fumes. Not only will the Bogenhausener Hochstiftsweg benefit from the new speed limit, but the well-being of the residents will also be improved. Motives like these are crucial for advocating for such traffic calming measures.

Legal principles and correct use

According to the legal regulations of the road traffic regulations, every road user should know about the traffic signs that mark the beginning and end of a 30 km/h zone. These are the traffic signs 274.1 and 274.2, which are clearly visible in the zone. Furthermore, the right of way rule generally remains “right before left”, which is important for all road users in order to avoid misunderstandings.

30 km/h zones have a right to exist, especially on inner-city streets that do not serve as main roads. They are an effective means of reducing the risk to children and other vulnerable people in traffic. The mobility department emphasizes that structural measures, such as road narrowing, can also help reduce speed and increase safety.

Overall, the move to declare Hochstiftsweg a 30 km/h zone shows once again that traffic safety and improving the quality of living can go hand in hand. If everything goes according to plan, this part of Bogenhausen could soon become safer and more pleasant, thereby increasing its attractiveness for families.
