Truck loses lime fertilizer: B189 at Lüderitz temporarily blocked

On Thursday morning, the federal road B189 near Lüderitz, in the Stendal district, was closed for a few hours. The reason for this was a fluid pollution from a truck that lost limestone fertilizers while driving. The rain washed the cargo from the loading area, which led to a critical situation. A police patrol discovered the truck around 7 a.m., and the fire brigade was immediately alerted to clean the road. After a few hours, the B189 was free again, as reported.

The B189 is not only an important traffic artery between Magdeburg and Stendal, it also plays a central role in redirecting. Due to a construction site on the B188 there was an increased use of the B189, which is why the closure was particularly uncomfortable for travelers. Fortunately, the danger could be canceled after a few hours, which relaxes the situation for all road users, as current reports confirm. A look at the last reports shows that the road between Windberger Chaussee and the junction to Lüderitz was released again at 8:14 a.m., which fortunately happened in time for rush hour, so the information from stau.info .

The events on the B189 throws a light on the challenges of traffic safety and environmental protection. The recently adopted amendment to the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) offers the municipalities the opportunity to focus on environmental and health aspects and still do not affect the safety of traffic. The Federal Council has decided that Tempo 30 zones can be arranged more easily, for example in front of schools, playgrounds or pedestrian crossings. This is a step in the right direction, so that not only traffic, but also the quality of life in the cities is improved, as can be read on the side of the .
