Traffic light update in Erfurt: traffic restrictions from June 23 to 27!

The next few days will bring changes to traffic in Erfurt: From June 23 to 27, 2025, extensive renewal measures at the traffic light systems are on the program. The Schillerstraße/Stadtpark/station underpass and the Bindersleben knee are particularly affected. The traffic light systems for disassembly and assembly of the signal providers are temporarily switched off, which entails some restrictions for road users. Sometimes individual lanes have to be blocked, and the top speeds for vehicle traffic are reduced to increase safety during work. It is particularly noteworthy that the work on Schillerstrasse and the city park and station underpass take place mainly in the night.

But these are not the only locations affected by the modernization measures. Refurbishment work is also planned at other important intersections in the urban area. These include:

• Mittelhäuser Straße/An der Lache
• Straße der Nations/Apoldaer Straße
• Stotternheimer Straße/Geranienweg
• Erfurt Landstrasse/Mittelhäuser Chaussee
• am Herrenberg/Wilhelm-Wolff-Straße
• Weimarische Straße/an der Kleine Mühle
• Flughafenstraße/Gustav-Weißkopf-Straße

The conversions are part of a larger plan to modernize the transport infrastructure in Erfurt. Even if the measures start well, they are far from complete. Future road users will be asked for special attention, as there may be increasingly backlogs during the construction phase at peak times. Appropriate bypasses are therefore advisable. The civil engineering and transport office is grateful for the understanding of the citizens during this necessary renovations.

traffic safety in focus

The security in traffic is not only economically economy, but also at the federal level. The ADAC urgently calls for more investments in the transport infrastructure to fix the renovation backlog with dilapidated streets, bridges and rails. "It is important that all people can participate in social life, no matter what form of mobility they choose," said the motto of the automotive club.

An example of such investments is the planned conversion of traffic routing at federal road 304. Here, work should begin here from October 28, 2024 to increase traffic safety. Specifically, it is about the construction of a light signal system at the hub with state road 2104. In view of the numerous accidents in this area, long waiting times should be reduced when bending into the federal road. The construction costs amount to around 250,000 euros, with an expected completion on November 15, 2024.

These efforts are an expression of a growing need for safety in road traffic, and the ADAC calls for increasing measures to improve the conditions for all road users, be it by expanding the charging infrastructure for electric cars or by targeted information about risks in road traffic.

Overall, the transport infrastructure in Germany requires a refresher cure that meets both the needs of the users and is sustainable. It remains to be seen which decisions the future federal government will make in this area.

For all Erfurt road users, it will be said in the coming weeks: bring special caution and patience!
