Traffic chaos in Melbeck: Protest in front of school and daycare causes a stir!

In a mass protest in Melbeck, citizens urgently raise their voices against the traffic chaos on the highly frequented federal road 4! In the midst of the noise of honking vehicles and annoyed truck drivers, participants in the citizens' initiative B 4 (BIB4) gathered on Friday afternoon to point out the unbearable situation. This diversion route is overloaded due to the full closure of the B 4, and that lets the waves go up. Again and again protesters blocked the zebra crossing, so that traffic in both directions in front of the primary school and the daycare center on Ebstorfer Strasse.

Sonja Reimann, the committed chair of the BI, impressively describes the situation as "flooding of traffic volume". With every stopping possible vehicles, the protesters signaled: "People live here, children go to school here!" Christoph Kleineberg, Mayor of Melbeck, also joined the organizers of this demonstration. The roots of the problem lie in the massive stress due to the diversion.

dangers for children and residents

on Ebstorfer Straße is particularly high, not only for drivers, but also for the children who go to school and daycare here. The little protesters Nele, Hannes, Carl, Smilla and Ida drew attention to the threatening situation: "Sometimes the cars just drive on when we wait to cross the street." These concerned children are not the only ones who suffer from the situation. Markus Krug, Mayor of Jelmstorf, criticized that trucks simply drive through the villages while waiting for a bypass that would not be necessary for them. "This is not sustainable!" Says an angry jug.

overload from heavy traffic

The protest is impressive that the protest against Schleich traffic via the B 4 is not only supported by residents, but also by former mayor Klaus Hübner. "We melbeck suffocate in traffic!" He said, and appealed to the need for a faster implementation of the A 39, which could literally cause relief. It is scandalous that despite the considerable volume of traffic, no construction has been started for the highway, which in no way reduces the displeasure of the citizens.
