Construction site chaos in Radebeul: Senior ignores road closure!
In the tranquil town of Radebeul, a construction site is causing a stir: Kötzschenbrodaer Straße has been completely closed since July 7, 2025 until probably August 24, 2025. This measure is necessary in order to lay new low and medium voltage cables and expand broadband supply. The renewal of a transformer station is also on the plan. However, there are always road users who ignore the closure - as was the case with a 72-year-old driver who recently drove his BMW into the construction site, didn't care and even used the sidewalk to get ahead. An incident in which even Mayor Bert Wendsche and Béla Bélafi, the President of the Saxony State Directorate, had to avoid it Sächsische.de reported.
The construction workers responded immediately, stopped the reckless driver and - after a heated exchange - the police were called. The senior now has to answer for driving on a closed road without permission; A possible penalty is a warning fine of 50 euros. As the police confirm, this incident is the only one of its kind at the current construction site.

Road safety

They often happen not only due to misbehavior on the part of road users, but also due to deficiencies in the transport system.

These initiatives are supported by the organizations Promoting road safety.
The citizens of Radebeul are faced with major challenges due to these construction sites. It remains to be hoped that patience and consideration will be maintained during the time of restrictions in order to ensure both your own safety and that of other road users.
