Control calming in Klingenbach: temporarily closed

In the small community of Klingenbach, near the Hungarian border, the municipal administration recently decided to block a road to counteract increasing commuter traffic. The measure became necessary because more and more commuters from Hungary preferred the direct route through Klingenbach to save themselves the bypass.

The mayor of Klingenbach, Richard Frank, reports that traffic jams often occurred, especially in the early morning, since many drivers used the municipal road at a high pace. In many cases, commuters only save one to two minutes, which endangers the safety of pedestrians, especially children on their way to school. Older people are also particularly at risk when crossing the street, which underlines the responsibility of the community to take appropriate measures.

protective measures and traffic counts

A comprehensive traffic count showed that 90 percent of the drivers head for the same target circuit traffic, which the vehicles also reach from the official bypass. This led the community to the decision to block the departure from Hungary. However, this is not a border barrier; The limit can continue to be passed without restriction.

The district government in Eisenstadt surrounding the application for road barriers, which has now been implemented. The mayor in particular argues that a permanent lock will probably be necessary. "The traffic has increased significantly in recent years," explains Frank. He fears that the traffic in Hungary would continue to increase with the opening of the highway in Hungary. With the current measure, the traffic should be made more secure and more orderly.
