Traffic chaos threatens: City has to act because of ailing streets!
Strong warnings from the road construction department: In an alarming letter to the city senate, which is reported by , the employees make it clear that responsibility for traffic safety cannot be guaranteed. Due to inadequate means for street renovations, the city is forced to introduce restrictions on the use of roads and squares. The responsible speaker Sandra Wassermann (FPÖ) has been emphasizing the dangers from potholes and crack formations for years. A three-phase model was developed to improve the situation: weight restrictions on the old square were reduced from 18 tons to 7.5 tons to take into account the critical condition of the streets.
rescue measures in three phases
In the second phase, hundreds of warning signs are to be installed on the 600 kilometers of the road network in order to point out the population. The third phase of the measures will affect a drastic reduction in speed limits - in some areas from 50 to 30 km/h and even 10 km/h, where traffic allows it. Aquarius warns that the longer they are delayed, the longer they can increase by up to 8 percent. Due to an investment backlog of 25 million euros, quick action is necessary.
The financial pressure on the road construction department is enormous, as the road construction officer clarifies. With a budget of only 3 to 5 million euros, they are unable to keep the security standards necessary. A higher budget of 10 to 15 million euros would make it possible to fix significant problems. When asked whether the FPÖ is also responsible for past failures, Wassermann emphasizes the need to learn from mistakes instead of making blame. A exam with the city council members is intended to help to set priorities for the next budget planning. Against the background of this critical situation, it is essential that those responsible act quickly.
