New traffic light system in Horn: Modernization of Hamerling-Straße starts

The traffic lights at the Robert-Hamerling-Straße and Puechhaimgasse in Horn will be extensively modernized this year. The reason for this is that an repair of the old traffic light system is no longer possible. After more than 30 years in use, the signal tax devices have reached their lifespan, so that all repair attempts were unsuccessful. In order to ensure safety in road traffic, a new traffic light system is now being installed.

Traffic City Councilor Manfred Daniel, clerk Mario Don, and Mayor Gerhard Lentschig have already met on site to advise the modernization options. The new facility should not only replace the old one, but should also be coordinated with the traffic lights at the "Blie crossing". This measure is intended to help optimize the flow of traffic and to minimize potential disorders in road traffic.

The condition of the old traffic light system

The previous traffic light system has served over three decades and has therefore been in operation beyond the usual period. During this time, the requirements for traffic regulations have changed significantly, which makes adaptation and modernization essential. The old technology is not only out of date, but also susceptible to disorders, which could lead to a danger to road users.

This modernization is of great importance to meet the needs of current traffic. By introducing new technologies, intersections can be regulated more effectively and the safety for pedestrians and drivers can be increased. The synchronization with the neighboring traffic light also increases the efficiency of traffic at this highly frequented area.
