Overtaking ban on B87 ensures traffic chaos between Mockrehna and Doerschütz!

Mockrehna/Doberschütz. On the busy Bundesstraße 87 between Mockrehna and Doerschütz makes a new overtaking ban! Since September 12, the day of the freshly renovated section of the route, a well -pulled white line has been patient. Commuters who rush to work in the morning and in the afternoon get the effects to feel up close. Nothing more with overtaking-slow motion trips are announced and the nerves are bare!

But not everyone is dissatisfied. Nicole Kriesten, who works in the senior center on the Mockrehnaer Gutspark, sees it calmly. "Much too dangerous," she judges about overtaking on this route. Your employees are now more secure, but sometimes it builds up, which makes it difficult to switch from side streets to the B87. Kriesten reports on critical driving conditions that she would like to avoid and still finds the measures sensible.

High risk of accident under control?

The reason for the drastic measures? Statistics speak volumes! In recent years there have been dangerous accidents on this 3.3 kilometer section of the route that alerted the North Saxon district office. "It was urgently needed to reduce the risk of accidents," explains spokesman for the agency Sebastian Stöber. The traffic accident commission recommended the ban on overtaking, which is now strictly enforced. The number of dangerous intersections also remains a hot topic - especially the Audenhain/Gräfendorf area, where almost all speed limits are ignored! 22 sometimes serious accidents have come about here since 2022, and the assessment of the introduction of the Tempo-70 limit remains sobering.

The ban on overtaking could be a step in the right direction to increase security on the B87. The coming years will show whether these measures actually have an effect and push back the accident. The drivers and commuters look tense at the developments - here everyday life on the streets of Mockrehna and Doberschütz is redefined!
