Lower Bahnhofstrasse: From Wednesday only one -way street!

From Wednesday, December 18, the Lower Bahnhofstrasse in Gießen will be back on the one -way street. This measure, which was decided by the city, means that drivers can no longer turn towards Reichensand or train station from the Neustadt. The changes are part of the restoration of the original traffic management, which has been changed during a traffic attempt to reduce the stress of residents by abbreviation and creep traffic, such as the Anzeiger reported.

The changes also affect access to the new town. These only remain accessible via Rodheimer Strasse, the north and west facility. The existing mobile traffic signs, which previously indicated the permitted direction of travel, are removed, and instead, new holding and parking projection signs are set up to ensure traffic safety. The access to the underground car park Bahnhofstraße 19 will also be made easier because it can be achieved again from Reichensand, which the journey significantly improves for drivers, reports Giessen directly .

In addition, it is sought to reduce motorized private transport in this area and to increase the attractiveness of cycling. Under certain conditions, delivery traffic may continue to drive in both directions. The necessary traffic law orders have already been made and the regulatory office will monitor the traffic attempt. A corresponding citizen information should follow in order to inform the residents and business owners about the changes.
