Diverse mobility issues in the Amstetten district: a review of driving with

In the series "Driving with", a wide range of topics on mobility in the Amstetten district were examined for over eleven weeks. From accident hotspots and secure school paths to commuters and the work of the roadmasters, a wide range of topics was offered, which focused on traffic safety and current mobility issues. The challenges in front of which seniors and drivers are on vacation trips were also treated.

Accident hotspots and traffic safety

The analysis of accident hotspots in the district was a central theme of the series. According to the Amstetten district police command, the number of accidents could be significantly reduced by targeted measures and increased controls. "The inner-city areas and heavily used roads, especially for district wardrobes, are the most common accident sites," explains Thomas Buchinger from the police service

. The data show that 355 car inmates and numerous cyclists and pedestrians were injured in the previous year and tragically killed eight people. The most common causes of these accidents were carelessness, priority injuries and non -prestigious speed, as the district police command explains.

Traffic accident prevention is considered an essential measure to prevent further accidents. "We have to sensitize road users," says Buchinger. This includes reconnaissance campaigns, driving safety training and the promotion of responsible behavior in road traffic. The ÖAMTC transport psychologist Marion Seidenberger pointed out that even small offenses such as changing lanes can lead to major problems without flashing.

parking situation and winter service

Another central theme of the series is the parking deck in Waidhofen. Mayor Werner Krammer informed that a total of 1,000 parking spaces in the city center will be available on November 1, including 300 places in the city center after the renovation of the Schlosskenter parking deck. The use of the deck was always guaranteed during the renovation work.

With a view to the upcoming winter service, the mayor of Amstetten, Christian Haberhauer, will highlight the new central city maintenance, which is intended to improve the quality of service and efficiency. In the winter of 2024/2025, four employees will be available for control services from two in the morning until 9 p.m. and will be quickly mobilized at smoothness or snowfall.

The "driving with" series emphasizes the importance of measures to improve traffic safety and mobility, which are of crucial importance for the residents of the district.
