Cyclists in danger: city leaves fines unused!

Cyclists in danger: city leaves fines unused!

in Dresden, a predicament causes resentment among authorities and citizens: Despite an existing ban, numerous cyclists still use the main street without being punished. It is estimated that up to 10,000 cyclists travel across the Augustus Bridge and the main street every day. A count showed that about 200 cyclists drove the promenade per hour during a review. Thomas Blümel, Managing Director of the TZ faction, sees it a potential for the city treasury: With 2,000 daily cyclists, the city could achieve revenue of up to 1.5 million euros per month, should be strictly checked and, if necessary, penalty funds of 25 euros. Nevertheless, the regulatory office remains passive in this regard, since it is not responsible for targeted controls, as a spokesman clarified. It was also reported that a police patrol incorrectly assumed that cycling on the sides would still be allowed - a mix -up that the police described as an "individual case" and should lead to a sensitization of the officials, such as TAG24 reported.
