New traffic lights for Bad Nauheim: traffic safety in focus!

The traffic situation in Bad Nauheim is the focus of the free voters. Above all, the intersection of Zanderstrasse, Ludwigstraße and Parkstraße is concerned about the residents. In order to increase security at this busy area, the free voters submitted an application to improve traffic safety at the city council on July 3. They are calling for a speed -controlled traffic light system to react to the rapid pace of some drivers, reports the fnp .

parliamentary group leader Markus Theis emphasizes that the ruthless behavior of some road users is a security risk that should not be underestimated. Friendly information and smiley signs have proven to be ineffective, so that a sustainable solution is required. The hope lies at a traffic light that switches to red in speed 30 at speed. A model for this measure is the recently installed traffic light on Homburger Straße/Deutergraben, which already shows positive effects.

The installation of this new traffic light shows how much the city's security is important to the city. The construction work on Homburger Strasse has now been completed and the traffic light is already in operation. This stepless "all-red-super-green circuit" is primarily intended to increase security for passers-by and slow down the traffic. According to Mayor Klaus Kreß, this measure will significantly reduce the risk for all road users, especially in an area that is characterized by an increased foot and cycling traffic, such as the Bad Nauheim Süd district, according to the Frankfurter Rundschau .

The citizens waited many months for this improvement. Over 100 people expressed the desire for more security on the "My Bad Nauheim" platform. City councilor Sebastian Schmitt emphasized the urgency to make the dangers aware of the dangers in the citizens' meeting that brought the old traffic conditions. Instead of lane divisors who were originally planned, the members of the building committee opted for the traffic light solution, which turns out to be sensible.

long -term plans and other measures

The free voters are not only satisfied with this one measure. There is the intention to check other critical areas in the urban area in order to install new traffic lights if necessary. First of all, however, it is about evaluating the effectiveness of the planned traffic lights on Zanderstraße/Ludwigstraße/Parkstraße. In the event of a positive response, similar systems could also be implemented in other places to further improve traffic safety.

In addition, Eru research and noise reduction measures are on the city's agenda in order to increase the quality of life for residents. On top of that, suggestions for traffic calming and the establishment of stops are also discussed. The city has hired the traffic safety team to support the planning work and the implementation of projects, as described on Abas-Verkehr

The citizens of Bad Nauheim can therefore be excited to see what further developments will come to them in the coming months. After all, a good transport infrastructure is a foundation for a living and safe city.
