Essingen lowers speed: New speed camera and 30s zone on Bahnhofstrasse!
Since the beginning of May, there has been a speed limit of 30 km/h at the Essingen passage, which extends from the entrance to the Raab/Miske petrol station to the exit towards Lauterburg. This measure aims to improve traffic safety and the quality of life of the residents. On May 27, a new speed camera was also installed at the Gartenstraße, which is monitored by both directions.
as the Schwäbische Post Speed camera part of the noise action plan, since Bahnhofstrasse is one of the most busy sections in Essingen. The income from speed violations does not flow to the community, but to the Ostalbkreis.
An old speed camera that previously stood at the northern entrance had to be removed due to road construction measures. In order to further increase traffic safety, a speed limit of 40 km/h is introduced in Lauterburg instead of 50 km/h. This decision is based on the confusing traffic conditions and not on noise protection reasons. However, the section between the fire station and the outcome towards Essingen remains at 50.
planned measures in Forst
In the neighboring community of Forst, the desire for a Tempo 30 regulation remains unfulfilled on the entire passage through. However, Mayor Wolfgang Hofer emphasizes the potential for Tempo 30 in Forst, in particular on the basis of the concerns of residents, cyclists and the poor road state. The traffic authority sees opportunities to expand the existing 30 area, especially in the corner area between the bus stop and the chapel.
In the discussion about speed limits, general traffic rules are also important. According to the ADAC , a speed limit does not automatically end at the next intersection or confluence. Even without repeated signs of prohibition, the limitation remains, which can affect local drivers. A cancellation sign is necessary to officially end the speed limit, which is particularly relevant at danger spots such as construction sites or tight curves.
A judgment of the Higher Regional Court Hamm supports this view that speed limits end where the danger for local drivers is over, even if there are no further signs. These regulations are intended to help promote traffic safety and to avoid misunderstandings between drivers
