Confusion in Berchtesgaden: Double signs ensure criminal tickets!

Confusion in Berchtesgaden: Double signs ensure criminal tickets!

Berchtesgaden, Deutschland - A huge outcry goes through Berchtesgaden! A confusing traffic Situation caused outrage among drivers when the Zweckverband municipal traffic monitoring Southeast Bavaria issued parking lots to parked. The cause? Two signs that are mounted on a mast and provide opposing information! An “absolute ban on stopping” in both directions and a parking space sign that allows parking with a parking disc - the confusion is perfect!

The anger began when the community carried out a deciduous removal campaign without informing the citizens in good time. The stop sign remained active during the work while the parking sign was not covered. Ten drivers were punished and the reactions were not long in coming. "Attention, rip -off!" called an outraged citizen in a Facebook group. The community admits that a mistake happened here. Mayor Franz Rasp himself admits: "Sorry, we built crap!"

sign chaos and the police

The police cannot help in this situation and refers to the community, which is responsible for the traffic signs. "We do not legally not check traffic signs," explains the first police chief commissioner Stefan Scharf. The municipality has now announced that it can withdraw all the criminal tickets and advises those affected to object. "That will be successful," promises Rasp. But while those responsible try to clarify chaos, the question remains: How could this confusing situation come about? The managing director of the municipality, Anton Kurz, sees the fault for several parties, but shows little understanding of the excitement: "I don't understand why you are doing such a theater now."
