Vienna is preparing for snow: MA48 has been preparing for the winter since April

The cold season is just around the corner, and the city of Vienna is already taking comprehensive precautions to be prepared for the coming winter months. This was explained by the magistrate department (MA) 48, which is responsible for winter service. All necessary steps have been taken in Vienna since April to effectively meet the challenges of snow and cold.

The MA 48 is equipped with state -of -the -art devices and a diverse fleet to ensure safety on the streets during winter conditions. "Our motto is: as little as possible and as much as necessary," explained Climate Councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky, whereby the focus is on efficiency and the minimization of environmental influences.

extensive measures for traffic safety

in Vienna, the MA 48 looks after an impressive street area of ​​around 24 million square kilometers. However, the main notes are not only on the main roads, but also on walking stands, cycle paths and market areas, which together make up a length of about 870 kilometers. Especially at temperatures around freezing, the use of winter service is particularly in demand to ensure a secure traffic situation for everyone.

A total of 48 to 1,300 employees are available to operate in a well -coordinated system. Of the 283 trucks and tractors provided for winter service, 68 vehicles are in the hands of private service providers. Vienna was thus able to ensure broad and effective support through various transport units.

For the concerns or reports of winter impairments, the MA 48 snow telephone is available, which can be reached on 01 546 48. Early planning and preparation show that the city of Vienna is determined to proactively meet the challenges of the winter season and thus ensure more security in city traffic.
