Velen: Residents request speed 30 on dangerous street to Lünsberg!

in the small community of Velen, which is located together with Ramsdorf in North Rhine-Westphalia, residents face a problem that gives them great concerns: dangerous traffic situations on certain streets. The road to the Lünsberg in particular is perceived as a danger point where accidents have always occurred in the past. This alarming situation has rejected the discussions about security measures and speed limits.

Last Tuesday there was another incident on the street, in which two people were slightly injured. Such events are not uncommon for residents; They have increased steadily in recent years. Many citizens report on their negative experiences and are now urgently calling for changes. "We need a reduction in speed and more traffic signs that indicate the dangers", the affected residents, who also point out that such measures have already been requested in the past.

Security fear and traffic control

According to the residents, there are problems with frenzied vehicles not only on the street to Lünsberg, but also on other streets in Velen and Ramsdorf. Residents report excessive speeds, especially in the residential areas, which significantly endangered their security. "It is not only a question of speed, but also general traffic control," said a concerned resident. Many demand that the police increase the number of speed controls and also pay attention to the vehicles that always ignore the speed limit.

Another major concern of the residents is to improve the general transport infrastructure. They suggest that pedestrian crossing and zebra crossing are increasingly being set up so that children can get to school safely. "The road is always fully driven and we are just afraid that something will happen," emphasizes a mother who lives at the crossroads.

The discussion about the security in traffic has been going on for several years, and citizens' initiatives have formed that are committed to better measures. The demand for a dialogue between residents and the municipality is central. "We want to be heard and have an impact on decisions themselves," explains a spokesman for the initiative.

In the past five years there have been some sporadic measures, such as the installation of speed limits on certain sections, but these do not seem to be sufficient to actually relieve the worries of the citizens. So far, votes from the community have reacted to the concerns, but have not yet presented any concrete solutions that could sustainably improve traffic safety.

public acceptance and responsibility

The citizens agree that responsibility is not only among the drivers, but also with the community, who must take suitable measures for the safety of their residents. "We expect a reaction, otherwise this problem will continue to escalate," they warn. The residents have already collected numerous signatures and plan to present them in the near future of the municipal administration.

The increasing number of accidents on the street to Lünsberg and other danger spots shows that there is an urgent need for action. Many residents hope that their speech to the authorities will finally have an effect to improve the conditions around road traffic in Velen. In the hopeful next meeting of the municipal council, the topic will probably be on the agenda, and the citizens are excited to see which steps will be taken next.
