Tempo 30 in Blochingen: Control calm for residents planned!

In the municipality of Mengen, a project, which has been aimed for for years, is finally being implemented: Eleven streets are to be set up in the Blochingen district on Tempo 30 zones. Among them are the Schnabelgasse, Kirchgasse, Griessgasse and others. This step is no coincidence, because the traffic show, which was already carried out in November 2021, showed that a speed reduction for these areas makes sense, as the Schwäbische Zeitung reported.

traffic calming for the residents

The initiative for the establishment of these zones comes from the local council and the residents of Ennetach, who have been working for traffic for years. The planning is supported by the police and the Lower Transport Authority of the District Office. In addition, there were no objections from the civil engineering office and the fire brigade, since many of the streets are dead ends and therefore mainly residents. The new regulation should also ensure that road users drive particularly carefully in the Klösterleweg, since there is a kindergarten, as was explained in the sessions of the local council.

It should be emphasized that the streets in the area are already shown as Tempo 30 zones. In Blochingen, a district with around 902 inhabitants on the left bank of the Danube, a traffic show is necessary to determine the streets mentioned to increase the safety of residents sustainably. However, a request from the local council cannot be fulfilled: The speed limit should not apply to the local crossings, as these are excluded from the road traffic regulations. The Wikipedia page about Blochingen continues that this suburb has a historical importance and is rich in nature protection areas, which makes the focus all the more important.
