Sign forest in Grevesmühlen: 44 signs in just 400 meters!
Interesting developments have occurred on Wismarschen Straße in Grevesmühlen in recent months. There are now a whopping 44 traffic signs over a distance of just 400 meters between Santower Straße and the market. This high number of signs makes it clear that great importance is placed on regulations and safety in this pedestrian and parking zone.
As the Baltic Sea newspaper reported that the number of signs has actually increased this year. The latest no-parking signs were put up in the spring to make it easier for residents to enter and exit their vehicles. The environmental committee approved this measure and the district road traffic authority approved the application. But not everything is positive: The new signs mean that three parking spaces are missing in the area, which gives rise to mixed feelings among residents.
New regulations for residents
There is good news for the residents of the bakery. These can now easily drive onto the road with trailers or larger vehicles. A step that will certainly be a relief for many. It should be mentioned in passing that a referendum in 2019 rejected the conversion of Wismarschen Straße. Out of a total of 4,396 votes, 2,368 votes were against the renovation (53.87%) and 2,028 votes were for (46.13%). Citizens had the opportunity to actively express their opinions, which then had far-reaching consequences.
But what does this development tell us about the current traffic situation in Germany? According to a long-term study by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure The mobility behavior of Germans is an exciting topic. The publication “Traffic in Numbers” breaks down over 380 pages, covering everything from infrastructure to traffic accidents. This shows how important it is that cities like Grevesmühlen respond to the needs of their citizens.
Nowadays, clear regulations and the correct management of traffic signs are crucial for a functioning community. It remains to be seen how residents will react to the latest changes and what further developments Wismarsche Straße will bring in the future.
