Traffic chaos in Ravensburg: 30 zones bring new problems!

Traffic chaos in Ravensburg: 30 zones bring new problems!

A storm of concern moves through the upper town! Since November, a strict speed limit of 30 km/h has been on numerous main streets, which is also enforced during the day. The Georgstraße, Karlstraße, Zwergerstraße, Northern Olgastraße, Ziegelstraße, Seestraße, Jahnstraße, Weißenauer Straße and Hindenburgstrasse are affected. But instead of ensuring relief, the Oberstadt agenda group fears an explosive increase in traffic!

"The new 30s zones additionally promote abbreviation transactions through the upper town," warns Manfred Lenz, spokesman for the group. The historic city center, which is already heavily burdened, could deteriorate to the passage corridor. This would not only drastically reduce the quality of stay, but also increase the health risks of noise and exhaust gases into immeasurable ones. The concern for a "considerable gush of additional traffic" is tangible because more and more pedestrians, cyclists and cars from the new residential areas in the eastern suburb are looking for their way through the overloaded Obertor.

No solutions in sight!

The Ravensburg agenda group cycling has also raised the alarm and calls for a complete blocking of the Obertor for Car to defuse the Situation. Alternatively, a one -way regulation for Burgstrasse is brought into play, for which the Oberstadt agenda group has been strong for years. But the city administration remains idle! Although she knows the problem of the tightened traffic situation at the Obertor, there are no concrete solutions so far. A new overall traffic plan for the old town is not on the agenda, and the passage for cars remains unaffected. Manfred Lenz regrets the lack of foresight of the city and refers to the Molldietunnel, whose construction lies in the distance.
