Speed ​​camera in sight: Weyher residents finally call for speed controls!

in Weyhe, a municipality in the Diepholz district, residents are increasingly expressing their resentment about the rapid speeds with which drivers are traveling on the passage routes. Again and again they report dangerous situations and excessive speeds, especially on the state and federal highways. These concerns were recently loud as part of the public participation in the municipality's new noise action plan. Uwe Schröder and Renate Beneke, residents at Bundesstraße 6 and Sudweyher Straße, are calling for increased speed monitoring in their neighborhood.

The two residents have heard with their concerns; Two factions in the local council support the idea of ​​installing more speed controls. Despite the legal restrictions that arise because it is overriding traffic roads, the political representatives have signaled that they want to deal intensively with the topic.

political support for speed controls

At the suggestion of Claus-Peter Wessel, the CDU parliamentary group leader, the party wants to have talks with the Lower Saxony State Authority for Road Construction and Transport and the District District. The aim is to clarify which prerequisites for the establishment of further inpatient speed camera in Weyhe are necessary. Wessel emphasizes the importance of integrating residents into this discussion. The SPD also signals support and requires more mobile speed controls and the installation of inpatient flash systems at defined hazard points.

The SPD parliamentary group underlines that these demands are not about generating fines, but increasing traffic safety. Rainer Zottmann from the SPD emphasizes that the newly introduced "speed camera supporters" of the Diepholz district could be a promising solution because they can be flexibly installed at the problem areas.

urgency of speed monitoring

The residents report that it is often like on Sudweyher Straße as on a racetrack. Renate Beneke describes that it is not unusual in the evening that speeds of 80 to 100 km/h are exceeded. Their observations show that the traffic that is in the direction of Barrien, in particular, often accelerates with excessive speeds after the 30s zone in front of the kindergarten and school.

Beneke had already contacted the responsible authorities to apply for a stationary speed camera for their street. However, she was always informed that there would not be enough accidents there to justify such a speed camera. This ensures frustration among the residents, especially since this route also serves as a way to school to KGS Kirchweyhe.

Aktuell the municipality of Weyhe is not planning any further measures to secure traffic at the Sudweyhe output and refers to the responsibility of the district for traffic monitoring. The locations for inpatient speed cameras are determined in cooperation with the traffic accident commission, with Sudweyher Straße so far not being identified as an accident focus. Nevertheless, the residents remain optimistic and demand that the problem will be taken seriously.

The discussion about speed monitoring in Weyhe shows how important it is to ensure safety in road traffic. While residents actively work on the improvement of their quality of life and express their wishes and concerns loudly, it remains to be seen how politics reacts to these voices and whether measures are taken promptly to reduce speed on the affected roads.
