Traffic chaos in Tulln: Parents scream for more security for children!

Zeiselweg, 3430 Tulln, Österreich - concerned residents in Tulln raise the alarm: the traffic increase in the residential areas of Zeiselweg and Mittergwendt ensures massive security concerns. More and more drivers are using these streets as abbreviations, which, according to Gerhard Otzlberger, a affected resident, considerably endangers traffic safety. In particular, kindergarten and school children and older people are at risk from ruthless driving. Otzlberger emphasizes that claims have been addressed to the municipality for over two years, but no effective measures have been implemented to improve the situation. "It is the task of the community to ensure security," he demands. The residents have submitted written applications that have so far remained unanswered, such as The community has already taken some measures to increase traffic safety, including the introduction of 30 zones in other areas. Cornelia Hebenstreit, head of department for roads and traffic, said that the criteria for the installation of inpatient speed monitoring were currently not met. The marking of protection routes is also an issue. However, there are also political voices that criticize a nationwide 30 in the city and instead demand targeted measures, as Andreas Bors from the FPÖ expressed. In addition, Georg Brenner from the Neos is also concerned that the increasing traffic load leads to the fact that more and more parents bring their children to school or kindergarten by car, which further tightens the situation.

While the traffic situation in Tulln is worrying, the challenges in the field of early childhood care grow. Around 600 children are looked after in the eleven kindergartens of the municipality, whereby 18 to 22 children are accommodated per group. In order to support the compatibility of family and work, all facilities are offered all day. Registrations for the kindergarten year 2025/26 are possible until February 28, 2025, whereby the age of the child is decisive for the allocation. Information for parents can be found on the website of the municipality of Tulln, such as tulln.at reported.
