30 km/h requirement in Havelland: CDU warns against drivers being ripped off!

In Havelland, traffic situations in small towns are a hot potato. There are always dangerous situations, especially in Buschow I, where the school bus stops on a thoroughfare. Residents often report drivers and trucks not slowing down despite the bus stopping. Where the speed limit is 50 km/h, speeding is commonplace. The residents are therefore pushing for a 30 km/h speed limit, especially for trucks, as well as increased speed controls and mobile speed cameras.

This topic recently caused heated debates in the district council, where the Left/Pirates faction requested two additional mobile speed cameras. Group member Raimondt Heydt emphasized how important it is to take seriously the traffic hazards caused by excessive speeds. Noise and an impaired quality of life are just the side effects of a larger problem.

Conflict over speed rules

However, residents' demands are met with resistance. The CDU parliamentary group rejects tightening the regulations and warns against the accusation of “ripping off” drivers. There are currently only eight stationary measuring systems and one mobile measuring system in the Havelland district, which are set up in front of schools and pedestrian crossings to monitor particularly endangered areas. Nevertheless, the application for additional speed cameras had no chance in the district council and was rejected.

The citizens of Buschow I are particularly concerned and hope that there will be no further accidents. In Lietzow, people have already responded to the problem: there, a speed limit of 30 km/h was ordered all day long for the B5 through town after there were repeated complaints about vehicle noise.

Cultural diversity: A cappella

But it's not just transport policy that's a topic of conversation. Cultural topics such as a cappella music are also of interest. A cappella music, which means “in the band style” in Italian, has its roots in Gregorian chant, which is traditionally sung only by voices without instrumental accompaniment. This type of singing is not only very popular in church institutions, where instruments are not used in chorale, but also on many other occasions.

Any form of a cappella singing, such as motets or madrigals, can deeply affect listeners. The works of composers such as Mozart, Bach and Bruckner can also be performed without instrumental accompaniment and are appreciated by many choirs.

Economic trends and investments

Aside from the local discussions and the music scene, many people also look at the economy. A term that has increasingly come into focus in recent years is JNUG. This fund provides leveraged exposure to the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index and is of particular interest to investors seeking exposure to gold and silver mining companies. The small market capitalization of these companies means that while they are riskier, they can also promise greater returns. However, investors should be aware of trading costs and keep in mind that exposure resets daily.

Overall, the situation in Havelland and beyond remains exciting, and it remains to be seen whether the residents can assert their concerns - both in the transport sector and in the cultural and economic landscape.
