Fellbach remains hard: Tempo 30 stays despite protests!

Fellbach, Deutschland - In Fellbach, the introduction of a speed limit of 30 km/h on main roads ensures heated discussions. Local residents report that the noise pollution has increased rather than decreased since the regulation, which has led to protests and a collection of signatures against the measure. Despite these concerns, the city is adamant and is not planning to relax the measures already decided in the context of the noise action Plan. The city administration explains that the decision was deliberately made to reduce the noise pollution of the residents, such as the Stuttgarter Zeitung reported.

The noise reduction project is part of a broader framework planned by the European Union, which aims to protect the population from harmful ambient noise. The noise action plan, which the city of Fellbach has created based on EU guidelines and national law, provides comprehensive measures. These were already decided in a meeting of the local council on December 14, 2021. The noise action plan should now be implemented gradually after the public has been included in the planning process. Detailed information on the procedural steps can be found on the official website of the city of Fellbach, as in the Noise action plan
